System settings & backups

Back up the one file that matters, your station’s .m1 library database, at least once a week.

Find where your Music 1 or TrafficONE database is kept.

Database “deleted”? It isn’t: point Music 1 back to the network or cloud folder where your .m1 file lives.

Close Music 1 when you’re done and keep Automatic Shutdown on, so you keep your daily backups and avoid a re-activation code.

Get your saved schedules back after a new install by pointing Music 1 to the right Log folder, and keep only the logs you need.

Clear out old log files, with Delete Multiple Logs or straight from the Log folder, and know what each way keeps.

Understand Multi-User mode and the Revision 617 change that lets you open more than one station database on one computer.

Set passwords for Multi-User mode when more than one computer schedules from a shared station database.

Get out of a stuck View-Only database in Multi-User mode: what the .ML and .tmp files are and how to put them right.

Keep your station database and logs on Dropbox so you can schedule from more than one computer, in nine steps.

Set up your Music 1 data folder in the cloud: the database, the Logs folder and a separate playlists folder.

Schedule from home: remote into the office PC, or keep your database and folders in the cloud and point automation to them.
