Topic: vdjdatabase, vdj(name)database vdj5 database

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

What are the differences in the three different databases i see in the "my documents" folder?
Which ones or all need to be backed up?

Also, in 4.3 there were two databases; virtualDJdatabase and VirtualDJ(name)database;
what were the differences between these two and which ones or both do we need to backup when we backup to a differente place?

Gotcha.
 
I am still confused about the "original" difference between those two xml files in 4.3 1) virtualdjxml and 2) virtualdj(name)xml ?

Which one is the important one as i see that they differ on the updated dates in their properties?

What does each one do on its own?
 
In V5 - any xml ending in v5.xml is for V5. And, they exist in the MyDocuments\\VirtualDJ folder and the root of all external drives. Your old v4 xml (yourname).xml in the MyDocuments\\VirtualDJ folder is there from the initial conversion to the new V5 files. If and when you get to a point that you are completely satisfied with V5 and that everything is working well you can delete the old v4 xml.


In V4 - the virtualdjxml was there from the 3.x days and usually didn't contain anything important. The (yourname).xml is the one that stored ALL DB information.

Hope that helps.
 
Thanks, Pal.
