Powerbackup

by bonjorno7 in Addons


Does this support my OS?

It just uses Python and the Blender Python API, so it should work everywhere.

How can I access this tool?

Either from the sidebar like all other addons, or from PowerSave's popover panel in the 3D view.

What do I do if restoring fails?

You can open a .powerbackup archive using 7-Zip, and from there extract the userpref.blend file.

Then you copy paste that into C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\VERSION\config\

This path will only work for Windows, but it's easy to find online what the path should be for Linux or Mac.

Where did my compositor settings go?

These are not part of preferences, but stored inside your startup file.

To see them after restoring a backup, start a new file.

What can't PowerBackup do?

Lights stored in preferences, such as HDRIs for Material Preview or Matcaps, are not currently saved or loaded, because I ran into strange errors with them.

Quick Favorites are not saved or loaded either unfortunately, because they're not accessible from the API, so there's nothing I can do.
