Backup / Restore Archives
The “Backup/Restore Archives” function allows you to store saved data archives (colors, title texts, audio-effect combinations) to a separate medium and later restore back into the system . This way, you can access your archives data after a full re-installation (also known as clean or destructive installation) of the Operating System. This function was introduced in Smart Edit 6 and is available in all subsequent SE upgrades as well as all Bogart OS versions

IMPORTANT: Before going any further in the Restore process - I recommend un-checking the box 'overwrite existing files' If this remains checked you will load the archived settings while erasing any archived settings currently on your active hard drive. With the box un-checked you will add to your existing archived settings.
