Backups, when do you save them?
Every few months I hear from a student who lost real time: a customized toolbar, a Tool Chest, a batch of hyperlinks they carefully built out, all gone because a profile got overwritten or a project file got rebuilt from scratch.
It’s almost never a software problem. It’s that nobody built a habit of backing up the pieces that took the longest to set up in the first place.
I always tell people in class: whatever took you more than twenty minutes to build, back it up somewhere outside that one document. Profiles, Tool Chests, custom links, all of it.
What’s your system? Do you export on a schedule, keep a master file tucked away somewhere, or handle it a different way? Come learn alongside the rest of us, I want to steal some better habits.

I have a monthly reminder to do a complete backup of Bluebeam – not had to use it yet but don’t want to risk somehow losing all of thse profiles.

That’s a great practice, and having a reminder would help as the weeks quickly fly by. Especially for someone like you with so many profiles and advanced setups.

Great idea to set the monthly reminder @Vince 😎

I use Microsoft To Do – with working for lots of different people there are so many tasks to remember but To Do works really well.
