Which files are used to create the backup?
The Import/Export configuration feature described here always builds a backup of two files even though you may see only one file in the save or open dialogs. So, when you import the configuration backup, the dialog lets you choose the VTP file, but it also knows to automatically import in the .cfg file with the same name. So it handles files in pairs. The two files end with ".vtp" and ".cfg". The name before the filename extension will generated with a name that looks like this:
- exported_vtube_configiration_ 20160205_08_45_23.vtp
- exported_vtube_configiration_ 20160205_08_45_23.cfg
The name includes the date and time encoded into the name.
Steps to BACKUP the Current Configuration

STEP 2Press the Project Setup tab, and then press the EXPORT VTUBE CONFIGURATION button. |
|
STEP 3Use the Save dialog to save a configuration backup. |
