Looking to create a new profile on an existing machine with Mach4 and ESS already
set up. My concern is whether doing so, following warp9 instructions, will affect the already
existing settings in the ESS.

Is there a way to back up the ESS settings?

Do the settings in an unconfigured profile overwrite any of the settings in the ESS?
?(planning to clone an unconfigured 'Mill' or 'Router' profile, then after connecting the
ESS to Mach in the profile, finish the Mach configuration.)

Some configuration is in Mach4 and some in the ESS plugin. ESS has excellent documentation as well as a wizard for dummies like me. I was anticipating a lot of work switching to ESS but it was real easy.

I am not sure if the ESS configuration is in the Mach4 folder or in non volatile memory but to be absolutely safe you can take screen shots of the configuration pages. Or the way a young 'un would do it take pictures with your phone :)

The procedure you outlined in your last paragraph will work well.

Also, as far as I know, the config gets loaded to the ES when you open Mach4, so no worries there either.
