✅ Profile BackUps (Local)

Last updated on 

When you update Wavebox, a backup of your Profiles is automatically saved on your computer's hard drive. It's possible to restore one of these to retrieve a setup or data that has been lost.

⚠️ Installing a backup will wipe any changes made since that backup, so create a new Profile and install it there first.

Make a Local Backup Manually

  • Go to: Settings > General > Data & Sync
  • Under the Import & Export to disk section, click on [Export] and save to disk somewhere on your computer.

Restore a Backup on your Computer

1) Find a Backup

  • 🪟On Windows
    • Open Windows Explorer
    • Paste %localappdata% into the address bar and hit enter.
    • Go to: WaveboxApp > User Data > Default > wavebox > snapshot > versioned
  • 🍎On macOS
    • Open Finder
    • Click on Go in the top Menu Bar and hold down the Option key.
    • Library will appear in the menu for you to select.
    • Go to: Application Support > WaveboxApp > Default > wavebox > snapshot > versioned

2) Select the File in 'Versioned' Folder

  • In the folder will be a bunch of files, each with different version numbers.
  • Find one with the highest version number that isn't the version you're currently using. For example, if you have...
      * 10.134.20 (current)
      * 10.134.10
      * 10.133.4
      * 10.132.19
    ...you should pick version 10.134.10 as it's one behind the latest.
  • Right-click to copy the file to your desktop.

3) Create a new Profile and Install the Backup

  • In Wavebox, click on the Profiles avatar top-right and select 'Add'
  • Name the Profile e.g. Backup Test, and choose the option to 'Use Current Subscription'.
  • In the new Profile, go to Settings > General > Data & Sync.
  • Under the Import & Export to disk section, click on [Import].
  • Pick the file you copied to the desktop.
  • The backup data will appear in the Profile.
