Backing up vendor settings

[SpacedCowboy (Simon Gornall)]

I was wondering if it is possible to back up my vendor settings for my Ruida 6442S DSP controller ?

I keep on being advised to do it (just got the laser), and a quick google didn’t reveal how. I can see the settings from within Lightburn, but apart from taking screenshots of the display, I’m not sure how to save them to the Mac, so that if disaster strikes, I can always get them back…

Cheers

LightBurn does not currently have the ability to back up the settings as far as I know. I use a PC so I use RDWorks to perform that function. Do you happen to have a PC laying around you could install RDWorks onto? If not your screen shot idea would be the best option for now.

Trying to save machine settings

This isn’t supported in LightBurn yet, mostly because I want to make really sure that I don’t mess it up, and the functionality does exist in RDWorks (the vendor supplied software). It’s one of the very few things that could damage the machine if I get it wrong, so I want to do this carefully.

Sadly, no. I work at Apple, and it’s generally considered a sin punishable by death to have a PC at home [joking]

I may be able to scrounge up a VM from somewhere with Windows installed. Failing that, shift-command-4 (for some reason, the key-combination for screen-shot) will be my friend until Lightburn comes around

I worked at Intel during the transition at Apple to Pentium from PowerPC.

I went from being a Mac pariah to a very popular ‘how do I’ guy

It’s surprising how many Windows techs run a Mac at home.
