Backing Up Your Livescribe Desktop Content Folder

Livescribe recommends that you regularly back up Livescribe Desktop files just like other important files on your computer.

Backing up your files protects you from losing important files in case your computer becomes damaged, lost, or stolen. If you later need to restore your Livescribe Desktop files, contact Livescribe Customer Service for instructions.

You can find all files linked to Livescribe Desktop in your Livescribe folder. This folder contains your notes and audio, as well as important information about your smartpen and Livescribe Desktop. By default, Livescribe Desktop creates the Livescribe folder in these locations:

For Windows XP:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Livescribe

Note:

By default, Windows hides the Local Settings folder. Refer to your Windows documentation on how to enable the “show hidden files and folders” option for your Documents and Settings folder.

For Vista and Windows 7:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Livescribe

Quit Livescribe Desktop.
Locate your Livescribe folder.
Copy the folder to a backup device, such as a CD, DVD, or external drive.
