Vectorworks 2022 , not drawing, Backups


Recommended Posts

Hi,


I'm looking at this 2022 Help webpage:

   https://app-help.vectorworks.net/2022/eng/VW2022_Guide/Start/Getting_started.htm

 

I want to create a Vectorworks application backup plan. I have a plan for my drawings and scripts.

 

Midway down that page is a paragraph containing these two sentences:

  • Your software license allows for one copy to be made for backup purposes.
  • The Vectorworks application should be backed up on a regular basis.

 

They seem contradictory. The first sentence saying one backup and the second saying regular (many) backups.

 

Of the approximate 48,000 files that the trial version installed, I think they reside in these basic folders/directories.

 

In the Windows 10 world the Vectorworks executable and related files are stored here:

    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Vectorworks 2022
    C:\Program Files\Vectorworks 2022
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Vectorworks 2022
    C:\ProgramData\Nemetschek\Vectorworks Cloud Services upgrade

 

The windows Registry contains info:  Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Nemetschek\Vectorworks 27

 

The installation process also creates these folders/directories based on the name of the user that installed it:

    C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Vectorworks 2022
    C:\Users\All Users\Nemetschek

    C:\Users\Bill\AppData\Local\Temp\Nemetschek
    C:\Users\Bill\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Vectorworks 2022
    C:\Users\Bill\AppData\Roaming\Nemetschek

 

I am assuming that there are some words missing from that "backup" paragraph.

 

Question:  How would you rewrite those two sentences and how would you clarify what folder/directories should be backed up?

 

Thank you.
