Femke Hi everyone, I am new with Stage Trax and I have an issue with the backup procedure. On mac Macbook I can make a full backup (4 songs to begin) and find my .st3 file on my icloud drive (27KB ??). I want to restore the full backup on my Ipad. But the songs in Stage traxx on my Ipad are missing and I cannot play back them. What am I doing wrong before I start completing the rest of my 700 songs archive... Regards, Femke
davedroug Femke (27KB ?? thats what you saved not enough there with songs added you have just saved the date files i.e lyrics setting etc , it works fine for me on mac book 3 m and also on ipad and iphone 🙂
Femke Absolutely, I have an .st3 file as a backup. That's fine, right? I don't know if the software is included? Maybe there's a difference between the software on a MacBook and an iPad?
AnthonyB As mentioned above, there is no way that that is a valid full backup. When troubleshooting, simplify the scenario I'd start by avoiding iCloud. On your Mac, in ST, do a full backup and output the file to LOCAL storage on your Mac.
Femke You were right! I've now made a full backup to my "downloads" and then moved it to iCloud. Then I restored it from iCloud to my iPad, and it works! Now the 4 songs were 20,0 MB! On the Mac is it a lot easier to fill the lyrics from my songs and then place a full backup to my Ipad, But thanks anyway!
AnthonyB I've always found issues with saving Backups directly to cloud storage (iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive) on the iPad (I don't use a Mac) and so I've had to always do the extra 'hop' which is a bit of a pain, but has made my backup/restore workflow 100% reliable for me.
davedroug AnthonyB you can just save the backup to your ipad folder 📂 or save it directly to your ST3 FOLDER
