If your computer crashes and the hard drive is unreadable, here is your 10-minute recovery plan:
Navigate to the Databases\Archive folder in your profile directory. Identify the version you wish to restore by date and time.
Unlike older versions of presentation software that simply pulled files from folders on your desktop, EasyWorship 7 utilizes a structured database system. But what does that actually mean?
If you are a church technician, worship pastor, or media director, you know that is one of the most powerful presentation tools available. However, the software is only as good as the data feeding it. At the heart of every smooth-running service is a well-maintained EasyWorship 7 database .
On a standard Windows installation, you can find the database here: Documents\EasyWorship\Default\v6.0\
EW7 does auto-backup by default. Set a recurring calendar reminder to back up weekly or monthly.
If you move or delete a media file outside of EasyWorship, the database will show a error (broken link). To avoid this, always add/move media from within EasyWorship or use the Media Resync tool.
The database does not store your actual media files (videos, images, audio). It only stores paths to those files. Your media remains in your specified media folders.
Use a consistent "Title - Artist" format to make the search function work faster for your operators. 3. Backing Up and Restoring
If the program refuses to open, it’s often due to a corrupted data file. Renaming the v6.1 folder to v6.1.old allows the software to generate a fresh, clean database (though you will need to re-import your songs). 6. Sharing the Database Across Multiple Computers
