What about us using Windows?
I found this tip from dropbox
http://www.dropboxwiki.com/tips-and-tricks/sync-other-folders
but it doesn’t seem quite so simple.
Thanks! I found Dropbox Folder Sync and i use it between 2 of my windows machine. It is perfect. Thanks your blog!
Here’s a link to a blog entry (with a video) on how to do something similar under Windows 7 without any additional programs or tools. It uses the task scheduler which comes with Windows 7. http://bit.ly/reapback
A simple method Windows that uses no third-party software. It also only synchronizes changes so you’re backing up online an even smaller file set each time or nothing if no change have been made.
1. Create a new text file in C:\ (or wherever you like).
2. Rename the file from “New Text File.txt” to “ReaperBackup.bat”
3. Right-click the text file and select “Edit”.
4. Place this text inside:
xcopy /D /S /Y “C:\Program Files\Reaper” “C:\backup”
This will sync Reaper directory to C:\backup so you may need to modify both paths to suit. Change C:\backup to a path that is being synced with Dropbox. It’s up to you.
Add a second line if you are running both 64- and 32- bit versions of Reaper.
5. Save and close the file.
6. Open Task Scheduler from the Start Menu.
7. Create a new task and set it to run the newly created ReaperBackup.bat file. Set the schedule as desired but if the computer is not powered on it will not run.
It’s also a good idea to run the bat file manually from command prompt for the first time to ensure it behave as expected.
@Matt – that might back up your reaper installation but it won’t back up your user specific settings data.
Of yeah! Sorry! I’ll have to edit that when I’m in front of a computer.
Sorry. I can’t seem to edit my earlier comment. If you replace “C:\Program Files\Reaper” with “%appdata%\REAPER” you will be good to go. That’s how I have mine set up.
Maybe that will teach me not to post things by memory alone.
Aaargh! I give up.
On Windows 11 the folder should be:
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\REAPER
