Fractal-Bot Names and Organizes Backups Automatically
Once you select a backup location in
RECEIVE: STEP 2
, Fractal-Bot are automatically names and organizes files.
Names include a “timestamp” (yymmdd-hhmmss) and description using the following naming templates. Please
note that presets and cabs which contain characters that are “illegal” in your operating system will be renamed
with a hyphen substituted for each illegal character
( / \ | ” < > ? * : )
Backing Up The Axe-Fx
/Your/Directory/timestamp-bank-A.syx
/Your/Directory/timestamp-bank-B.syx
/Your/Directory/timestamp-bank-C.syx
/Your/Directory/timestamp-system.syx
(ex: ~/Documents/backups/130515-114412-bank-A.syx)
Backing Up All Cabs
/Your/Directory/cabs/cabnumber-cabname.syx
(ex: ~/Documents/backups/cabs/52-1x12 Tone Tools r121.syx)
Backing Up an Individual Preset or Cab
/Your/Directory/presets/presetname.syx
(ex: ~/Documents/backups/presets/59 Bassguy.syx)
/Your/Directory/cabs/cabname.syx
(ex: ~/Documents/backups/cabs/4x12 Cali Classic.syx)
In the event of a naming conflict, a number is added to prevent overwriting existing files.
ex: ~/presets/KillaTone.syx and ~/presets/KillaTone (1).syx
NOTE:
The “Edit Buffer” is temporary memory used to hold the current Axe-Fx preset. When Fractal-Bot is
used to RECEIVE the Edit Buffer, it records whatever is in the Axe-Fx at that moment,
including
any
unsaved changes.
When you use Fractal-Bot to “Back Up Current Preset from the Edit Buffer” you have the option to “Unlink
Global Blocks if present” in the current preset before saving the file. Use this option when you want to
share a preset containing Global Blocks with other Axe-Fx owners (via Axe-Change, for instance). For
more on Global Blocks, see the Axe-Fx II manual.
Backing Up the MFC-101
/Your/Directory/MFC/timestamp-mfc-backup.syx
(ex: ~/Documents/MFC/224615-mfc-backup.syx)
