Hey guys!
I just wanted to share my method of backing up my Rigs and syncing it between my two Macs.
Symbolic link is the magic phrase here. I use them a lot to backup and sync my Pro Tools settings and presets. Basically this is a method to sync files to Dropbox, which are not actually inside the Dropbox folder.
I do it with a simple automator file, but you can also do this with the terminal. This is also possible with windows, but I don't know exactly how.
Here's a little guide:
1. Download the Junecloud Automator Actions here: http://junecloud.com/software/mac/j…or-actions.html
2. Import the "Create Symbolic Link" action into Automator
3. MOVE (not copy) the RigManager library (Macintosh HD/User/User Name/Library/Application Support/Kemper Amps) into a Folder "Kemper Amps" on your Dropbox
4. Create a new workflow in Automator and drag and drop the new content folder(s) (I also have some other folders with Kemper backups in there) from the Dropbox into Automator
5. Choose the before mentioned "Create Symbolic Link" action
6. You'll find the option "Where" in the Automator Action. Choose the folder from which you moved the files to Dropbox (Macintosh HD/User/User Name/Library/Application Support/Kemper Amps)
7. Hit run and you're done! Now every Rig you save in your local library in RigManager gets synced to Dropbox!
If you have other computers you can create a symbolic link to get your files from Dropbox inside your library folder this way too! The same Rigs on all your computers.
Hope this little tutorial helped you guys
