With VideoPsalms' backup function, you can easily build a portable version of VideoPsalm.

Here's how:

Click the “Backup” button on the “Edition” tab:
Picture
In the window that opens, enter the location where you want your portable VideoPsalm, for example on your USB drive.
In the example below, the USB key is represented by the G: drive.

Specify a specific folder, eg “VideoPsalm.” If this folder does not exist, the backup will automatically create it.

If you do not know the name of your USB key drive, click the “Choose a folder” button:

In the dialog box that opens, select your USB key and then press “OK”:

At this point, you are ready to create a backup of your VideoPsalms' documents on the USB drive.

If you want to create a portable VideoPsalm, check both boxes surrounded by red in the screenshot below, then click the “Start the backup” button:

Confirm the operation:

VideoPsalm proceeds to the backup. This should take one minute or two at most or a bit longer if VideoPsalm needs to download the Microsoft .NET Framework.

At the end of the backup,VideoPsalm informs you that everything went well:

Now you can start VideoPsalm on another PC from your USB drive.
Here are the content of the VideoPsalms' folder on the USB key:

Above, you can identify the VideoPsalm program. To start it, on another PC or on your own, double-click it.

In case the PC on which you want to start VideoPsalm doesn't have the Microsoft. NET Framework 4.0 installed, double-click first on the file named "dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe" and follow the instructions to install it.

Use the “Restore” function to restore songbooks, Bibles, images and videos from an USB key:

With the “Backup” function, you can easily create several clones of your songbook and Bibles library on your hard drive, in different folders.
You can also copy the VideoPsalms' executable files on a computers' hard drive. This way, you can start VideoPsalm directly from the PCs' hard drive, without the USB key.

If you have any further question or remark, please contact us.

When I try to do this, I get the error A folder name cannot contain the following characters: \/:&*?"<>| I'm not entering a folder name, just the thumb drive's H: that's entered when I select the drive. What do I do now???

Hello Linda,
Sorry for the late reply.
You get this error message because VideoPsalm is expecting a folder name.
Try for example with “H:\VideoPsalm”. If the folder doesn't exist, VideoPsalm will create it.

Hi Tricia,

Thank you for describing your use case.
It is a common scenario, and VideoPsalm handles it by default:
When you open an agenda file on the church PC, VideoPsalm adds to your church songbooks the new songs from the agenda.

Hi Sabz,

Absolutely:
The agenda file contains all what is necessary to reproduce the same presentation on another PC.

Please let me know if the following YouTube tutorial describes this task well:
