Deleted My Kemper Folder by Accident :(

Hi All ..so in a moment of absent mindedness I appear to have deleted ( even from the recycle bin) my folder containing all my purchased and downloaded profiles I had these on a drive labelled D:Software ( separate to my C:System Drive ) now ...obviously this is gut wrenching but ..upon re-opening my Rig Manager ..all profiles (all 41,737 of them ...I Know I know ) appear to still be available ..I always thought that they were kept in my D:Software folder but ..? If I back up the rig manager content will this mean that I have managed to at least keep a hold of the profiles that I have categorised etc if not the actual downloaded Zip files ? and thus still have access to all my profiles ???

Thanks for any help and advice

Yes, you still access to all your Rig Manager Content. And making Rig Manager backups to a separate drive or USB will help protect you from losing current and future content.

that's it , be sure to have multiple backups ,as well as C & D drives & external tokens or cloud

As said above by waraba , yes

In addition to making Rig Manager Backups, I use an external drive that makes automatic backups of all my drives. Note: those can eventually fail, too, so it becomes maddening at some point. LOL!

Not sure if useful here, but I do believe RM is making automatic backups somewhere in your %appdata% folder every time you upgrade RM. Just in case you need a backup.

Ooh now then I’ve just remembered…my D:Drive should be backed up on A cloud !!!

Thanks for your help at putting my (addled) mind at rest and for kick starting it into remembering!
