Is there a backup/restore procedure...?
I mean: is there a list of folders to save in order to retrieve all presets etc after reinstalling after a crash ...?

Can you be more specific? A Max application's state is its patcher files, media files, externals and any exported XML files for pattr state. (Old-skool preset data is generally embedded within patchers.) I'm not sure what you mean by "restore all presets".

hello nick,
I just wanted to know more about backuping customizations we can do in max.
I mean: https://cycling74.com/docs/max5/vignettes/core/environment.html

How could I retrieve all the customizations made fonts/text, object defaults, etc after reinstalling ? Should we have to remake it ?

sorry, I wrote preset, but it wasn't the right term.

another linked question: what about libraries?
I mean: there are many way to use libraries.
We can put it in the max5 folders, or directly in the patches etc.
in order to make a clean backup and to avoid dependencies problems, what is the badless way?

all the best,
julien
