Hi,

every year I upgrade my Audiophile version. And every year, after I receive the USB HD, I copy the RT & RD on a dedicated internal HD in my PC.
After some time, there's the question if I want to copy the files that are already on my internal HD too...of course they are the RT & RD files/direcories that were included in previous versions of BIAB. And every year my answer is : NO.
My doubt: is this correct? In other words, are the RTs & RDs on the NEW version exactly the same that came with previous versions (if so, my choice not to copy would be correct...) OR, are they someway different, updated...and if so, should I overwrite the old ones?

Thanks
Alfredo

I do the same as you on my backup PC, which does not have all the RealTracks, only the ones I know I need. I do have all the RealDrums, though, since they take up much less room.

PG Music does update older RealTracks on occasion via patches, so I always set my file copying to consider everything. It will only overwrite the files that are older than the source, and this takes the software but a moment to evaluate.

Very simply, I go into my RealTracks folder and sort by Date. Anything new will appear at the top. I select the ones I want and begin copying. Within each folder, any files not newer than the target files will be skipped.

Another way to say this is that the file dates on the audiophile drive are NOT all December 2021; older files will still have their older date, so copying only the newer material is easy.

Is this on the right track of answering what you are asking?
