3.2.1.17 Backing Up a Composer Pro Project

Use the Control4

Composer Pro File menu to back up your project.

The File menu in the Composer screens provides the following options for backups:

x Backup—Backs up the current project to your PC. The first time you back up, it prompts you

for a filename. It also prompts you to back up any media information. If you choose this

option, the current project becomes an option in the File > Load Project list.

x Backup As—Backs up the current project, and prompts you to enter the name of the file. It

also prompts you to back up any media information. If you choose this option, the current

project becomes an option in the File > Load Project list.

Anytime you exit Composer File > Exit, Composer asks you if you want to back up your project. If

you've made changes, it's a good idea to do so.
