Just out of curiosity? I have been using Crossover for a while and have a question about "archives" (which I do use - primarily as a secondary backup system as I do use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup the entire external hd that my bottles are on). Do users use them as a backup system or only when they wish to either delete a bottle or when they wish to make changes in a bottle's settings?
No ideas or suggestions? Just curious the way people use bottle "archiving" in Crossover. Thanks
I assume it is to make backups of bottles or to import bottles to a different user account or different Mac.
I back up everything in multiple ways so if I ever need to restore a bottle I just go to one of my normal backups. If I install to a different Mac I do a fresh install; more time-consuming than importing a bottle archive but I don't do this often.
So I don't use bottle archives. I imagine most Crossover users don't use bottle archives. If you need them, or get some value out of them for distributing bottles, then you use them. If you have to ask, then you probably don't need to use them!
