How Show Buddy Setlist manages its data and audio files

Show Buddy Setlist stores all your track, lightshow and show information in a single database file. As you create and edit your tracks & shows, Show Buddy Setlist automatically and silently saves your changes to the database – there is no File Open or Save option as is found in document based programs.

Your audio tracks (e.g. wav and mp3 files) are stored separately in the Show Buddy media folder.

You can create full backups of the above data from the File > Backup database menu option. This will archive the database (and optionally all your audio backing tracks) into a single .sbb file. It’s a good idea to backup your database regularly while you are editing, and before each live gig (so you can always recover to a known point should something go wrong).

To restore from a backup, select the File > Restore from backup… menu option and choose a .ssb backup file (or a .dbb backup file from older releases of Show Buddy Setlist).
