Hello,

Generally speaking if a program stores different settings for different users, they are likely stored in the user's home directory. Folder and file names that start with a period like .config, .local, .bash_history are hidden folders and files. Look through the hidden files/folders to see if you can find any user program configuration files you may need. There are a lot of system configuration files in the /etc folder for networking, ssh, etc.

On desktop and laptop computers, I have had good luck backing up my user's home folder ( /home/username ) then copying it over to a different computer. You may have to change permissions on the folders/files on the new machine if you have trouble reading files/folders that are copied over to it.

If you customize where a program stores configuration files and you run into an issue and seek help from the program's documentation or its developers/maintainers using an email list serve, forum, etc, it could cause a lot of confusion. Likewise if you make changes like that and want to upgrade the program to a new version you may have more work to do when you upgrade reconfiguring the program to use this new file location.? ?

Some of the programs allow you to export the configuration to save it for backing it up. CQRLog has this feature. I have used it several times. Other programs like FLDigi have pretty good documentation that tell where files are stored.

Fldigi will create a working files folder, multiple sub folders and also populate them with a set of default files. The working files folder is different on the different OS.

Operating System	Folder/Directory
Win XP	C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\fldigi.files
Win Vista/7/8/10	C:\Users\<username>\fldigi.files
Linux	/home/username/.fldigi
Macintosh	/Users/User_Login_Name/.fldigi

I don't use all the programs that can be installed using BAP. The few that I do use and were challenging to configure to work with my radio equipment I have taken the time to figure out where they store the configuration files so I can create a backup of them.
A lot of programs use hamlib for rig control. I will configure one program for rig control. Once I get it working, I will copy the settings (com port, baud rate, etc) down on paper and use the informatioon to configure other programs that use hamlib for rig control. I have been using a signal link so anything sound related going to and from the radio is usually USB Audio Codec to get it to work with the signal link. ?

I hope this helps!?
