Back up your meeting library

Back up Recordstead's app-managed folder, not just its export folder. The meeting list, transcripts and summaries live in the app-managed data; an external recording destination holds audio only and cannot restore the library by itself.

Save a transfer code for another Mac

The copied meetings are encrypted. To open them on a different Mac, you need a transfer code from the original Mac while it still works. Get the code before you move.

Copy the library

1. Quit Recordstead.
2. Copy the whole ~/Library/Application Support/com.recordstead.app/ folder to your backup. Keep its contents together.
3. If you have moved recordings to an external drive, S3 bucket or SFTP server, preserve that archive too. Those files are outside the app folder.

Your result: you have a copy of the meeting library and, where needed, its external audio. Move your meetings to another Mac explains how to unlock a copied library there.
