Is there a way to change where Fuse saves backups? I do a lot of my setup on my home computer and would like to save my backups to Dropbox so that I have access to it from my laptop in my rehearsal studio (or even on stage).

Can't you just go to the folder for the presets and copy them to dropbox... or a USB stick, or some such?

I suppose I could open the file explorer, navigate to the app, then the folder, find the one I want, copy it to dropbox, go to the my other computer, open the file explorer, navigate to dropbox folder, copy the file, navigate to the app, paste the file, the run the app and install it to the amp.

But "Save As" and "Open File" seems so much quicker :-)

Try this. It's roundabout, but works. I haven't tried saving it directly to online storage, but you can trick the program into letting you save to a specific folder.

Copy a Fuse preset to the folder you want to save to (using windows explorer or whatever). Choose "open" from fuse, and navigate to where you transfer the preset. After you open a preset from that location, the FUSE will, by default, save to that location.

They should allow you to choose a default save location, or at least navigate to a specific folder. Probably wanna suggest it to Fender.

I'll give that whirl. Thanks!

gpasq, if you are pretty good with computers, you can use a batch file to copy the contents of your 'Backups' folder to the Dropbox folder.

Then you could use the built in Windows Task Scheduler to run the batch file on a schedule, as often as you'd like and at times that make sense to you.

The batch file can also run manually by just double-clicking it, so you can still copy the files with just a double-click if you don't want to wait for the next scheduled file copy. FUSE wouldn't even have to be open, and it would copy all backups.

Then on the other computer, you could have a similar batch file that copies from the Dropbox folder where your backups are stored to the 'Backups' folder for FUSE.

So you would first run the batch file,:::click click:: then open FUSE, and import the latest backup at rehearsal. Not as good as having it built-in, but pretty close. :wink:

You can create a batch file by putting the copy commands into the built-in Windows Notepad program, and then saving the file with a '.bat' file extension. If you'd like specific instructions, send me a PM or respond here. I'd be glad to help. :mrgreen:

jeff, I think you are confusing presets with backups. When you click MAIN MENU :arrow: UTILITIES :arrow: Backup..., there is no way to change the path. Same goes for MAIN MENU :arrow: UTILITIES :arrow: Restore...

FWIW, the thought process might have been as follows: if the backups can only be saved in one location, support can tell you where they are by default in case you 'lose' them. If you can save them wherever you want, support can only suggest you search your computer and hope for the best.

I didn't confuse anything. I came home from work, opened a preset, and hit "save". It saved to the last directory I opened a preset from. I created new folder, copied a preset into it (through windows) then opened it within fuse. I then shut down fuse, created a new preset , then hit "save", and it sent the file to the new folder I had created presumably because that was the last folder I opened a preset from.

That is a fine looking tele on your profile pick, gpasq. Amp looks vintage-y too. Tell us about your rig. Looks drool-worthy.

my powers of observation have failed me again. Sorry. I can't think of any way to change where the presets go. I don't think its such a huge issue to to back them up to a flash drive or copy them over to the drop box.

The original question is ambiguous: the topic title says "saving presets" but the rest of the first post says "saving backups."

So I wonder if the OP really meant "backup" in the FUSE sense of the word (ie a single dump of all the presets on the amp, which can then be used to restore all presets to an amp in a single operation), or if the OP was using "backup" colloquially and really meant just saving individual presets?

Either way, the replies so far address both possibilities for the original question with a lot of explanatory info - that's the power of these forums, different people look at questions in different ways so we end up with greater shared knowledge overall.
