BendEdit Desktop - Backup System

At the center of BendEdit’s backup system is a backup folder with a Backup of all Programs and Machine data. The following functionality is available:

  • Programs (1) and Machine Data (2) can be restored separately from the Backup.
  • The Backup can be overridden with the current working data (3).
  • The Backup can be overridden with standard data that comes with BendEdit (4).
  • The Backup can be overridden with data from BendEdit Data Files (5). 
BendEdit Data Files have the filename extension “.bed” and contain all Programs and Machine Data for a particular machine.
  • The Backup can be exported to a new BendEdit Data File (6). This file can then be stored elsewhere, shared or used to create new machines.

All these actions are available in Settings > General > Machine:

  1. “Restore Programs…” restores the Programs from the Backup. This overrides the Programs that are currently part of the working data.
  2. “Restore Machine…” restores Machine Data from the Backup. This overrides the Machine Data that is currently part of the working data.
  3. “Backup current Data…” overrides the Backup with the current working data.
  4. “Override Backup…” overrides the Backup with the standard dataset selected from the drop-down menu. BendEdit comes with several standard datasets.
  5. Alternatively, the Backup can also be overridden with data from a BendEdit Data File. This option can be found in the drop-down menu:


    “Override Backup…” then uses the data from the selected file.
  6. “Export Backup…” allows for the Backup to be exported to a BendEdit Data File. This file can be saved anywhere on disk.
