back up Reaper on osx

boka · 07-30-2013, 12:04 AM

Hello guys!

There must have been a topic for this but I couldn't find it. I'm about to reinstall osx and want to back up Reaper. Could you please help me where are the files located? I do not want to lose any of my themes, settings, registration key..etc. I used to know this but forgot

Thanks in advance!

Information about your user folder (where reaper.ini and the other config files, templates etc. are located) is here:

But Preferences->General has the convenient 'import/export configuration' buttons on OSX too.

If you are using time machine....... It backs all that stuff up automatically. No problems. ;-)

You can certainly back up your Reaper application support files manually.

I recommend always keeping a backup clone of your system volume(s) with an app like Carbon Copy Cloner.

Just FYI: The OSX installers will update an older OS without removing any applications or application support. Your Reaper application support files will still be there after your OS upgrade.
