Good morning and Happy Holidays! (A non music-related question.) I recently bought the 2016 EverythingPak on the mini usb drive. I was going to copy that drive onto another drive for safety's sake and I'm concerned I deleted some of the original files. If I click on "properties" on my bb folder - on the mini drive - it is 98.8GB in size. It has 122,214 files in 4,953 folders. If you open that folder there are 9,958 items. If anyone has nothing better to do can you verify that that is approximately what should be there? Thank you for your time from a green northern Michigan. (12-23-2015)

There's a bunch in there....I'm not about to count them.
As for me, due to size of the file folders, I simply do a basic install, which puts the operational files on my HD and I run ALL of the real tracks from the factory HD. Due to USB speeds, there's not a big issue with loading times.

Thanks for your response. I didn't COUNT mine either. I also run BiaB from the external drive to keep space available on my main system. That actually wasn't the question. I'm just wondering if I lost some of my files. Thank you anyway.

If you registered your EverythingPAK serial number with PGMusic, then all the installation files that comprise the EverythingPAK should be listed in your account on the PGMusic website (which you access from the main pgmusic.com site; however, the login for your account is different from the forum login). If you are worried that you are missing files, you could take the time to download everything and run the installers back to your USB drive.
It will take awhile to do, but it may give you peace of mind.
When I get my USB drive, I always install/copy to a different drive so as to make sure I keep the original. But then again, I'm somewhat "backup obsessed".

OK, I'll bite. Never fear, I didn't manually count them; my Total Commander utility did.
On my working J:/BB folder, I currently have 9857 files. That number does NOT include any in the subfolders. A few dozen of those are my user styles and a few .PAT files I have written.
On my supplied USB drive straight from PG Music last week, there are 10,055 files, NOT counting any in the subfolders. The /BB/RealTracks subfolder alone contains 1511 subfolders, each with tons of .WAV, .WMA, .TXT and other files.

Thanks, John. The problem arose because I was making a copy of the drive and I think I might have 'cut' some files instead of 'copying' them. I printed out a list of everything that should be in the folder and I will be downloading them this weekend. (I have 2 external drives with redundant backups of my system and 2 with redundant copies of files/folders. I know about backup obsession.)

Thanks, Matt. I'm pretty sure I still have everything that I started with but I won't be 'happy' until I download everything and re-install it. It would be a problem if I had a life I was missing out on.

If you think you deleted something, BIAB has a menu command for "What add-ons do I have?". Run that.

That looks correct. If you have installed the latest Dec 2015 RealTracks patch, there will be approximately 123K files and 5000 subfolders in the bb folder on that HD.

Andrew, that MUST be a record number of files for any software ever, right? Call Guinness.
Thanks for all you do for us. It is most appreciated!
