Hi, my 27 inch imac finally died and I didn't properly backup my rig manager data. What would be the path to the data if I have my old hard drive accessable? Thanks
Question about Rig Manager data; where is the data stored on a mac?

I have a folder called "Autobackup" here: /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Documents/Kemper Amps/RigManager/Autobackup

How can I change the Auto-Backup Folder?

How can I change the Auto-Backup Folder?
I never saw an option to change it. But I created a rsync job for this. Just a simple copy job into another folder.
-
I'm not so happy with this solution...
Is there really no "normal" way to change the folder? -
why do you want it changed?
you could also create a symlink instead of the autobackup folder I think. It’s a unix-system in the end -
Because the path leads to my cloud folder. I want to change the path to a local folder.
-
I don’t see the problem, sorry.
I think you are using iCloud Drive, correct?
You could tell iCloud to not sync the desktop & document folder and then manually add every folder back that you still want to sync.
-
The problem is:
I need to do a workaround to change the path in a program. Not very progressive.
I should say iCloud to not sync my folders and then add my 40 folders manually again to the cloud.
And why? Because it's not possible to change a path in a single program?Couldn't have guessed that changing the path to another folder is witchcraft. But apparently: It is!
-
Well of course the devs could make this a variable and let you choose the path in the settings.
i just wanted to show you some quick (and dirty) alternatives.
maybe start a new thread in „feature request“. -
Why don't you want to back your Kemper data up on iCloud? If you have another hardware failure it's already there for the next one.
Edit: I thought I was responding to the OP.

Why is backing the Kemper up to your iCloud a bad thing and why should that feature have made it to the top of the wishlist for the Kemper community?

I'm using my Rigmanger in the Dropbox for many reasons.
So i linked the rigmanager Datafolder:~/Library/Application\ Support/Kemper\ Amps
Code
Display More## create new destination folder ## mkdir -p ~/Dropbox/_Kemper/RigManagerData ## goto kemper library cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Kemper\ Amps ## rename Rigmanager Folder mv Rigmanager Rigmanager_$(date +%d-%m-%Y) ## rm -r Rigmanager ## or move rigmanager Folder it ## mv -f Rigmanager ~/Dropbox/_Kemper/RigManagerData ## Create link to new Destination ln -s ~/Dropbox/_Kemper/RigManagerData Rigmanager ls -lisa read -p "Done" exit
on windows you can use the the mklink command:
