Allows periodic automatic saving of configuration and other data in foobar2000, and keeping backup copies of such data.

Usage

Once installed, backups of your configuration will be saved in zip files to a folder called "autobackup" in your configuration folder:

%APPDATA%\foobar2000\autobackup

To restore a backup, open the relevant zip file and copy all the folders and files contained within to your configuration folder:

%APPDATA%\foobar2000

The %APPDATA% path assumes that foobar2000 has been installed for all users. For portable installations, the autobackup folder will be stored in the same folder as foobar2000.exe.

Preferences

Files and directories to backup: Default: configuration;playlists;index-data;theme.fth;PlaybackStatistics.dat; To ensure that playlists created by current versions of foobar2000 are backed up properly, playlists should be changed to playlists*.

Directory where to store the backup .zip files: Default: autobackup
