Restoring from a Backup

Hi, I somehow yesterday updated my MC to version 31.0.9 and after the install, all my settings, library etc. had been erased.  I imagine this is not normal behavior.  Is this a beta, as I can't see it for download here in the forums.

Thanks

Manuel

Restore a backup from a previous version.  [wiki]

blgentry:
The Mac Version of MC doesn't find the old library or settings like the windows version does.  You must restore a library backup when you do a major version upgrade, like when you go from MC30 to MC31.  I just did so and it's now playing the same song it was when I stopped MC30.  :)

I have a few other customizations that have to be moved over as well, including some skins.

OK thanks I will see how to make backups or find them if they are done automatically.

Thanks

Backups are made automatically.  Something like every 2 days or so.  Backups are stored in the directory set by this option:

Tools > Options > File Location > Program Files > Library Backups

Restoring a backup:  File > Library Restore Library
Check the box to restore settings also if you want your settings from the old version.

Making manual backups is similar:  File > Library > Backup Library

Best of luck,
Brian.
