Last updated
QElectroTech stores element collections and preferences in standard per-OS config locations. Projects are separate files you save by hand. Diagrams reference collections by path.
Back up config for the workflow plus projects for the content. Exact filenames vary by release, so confirm inside the app when paths look stale. Keep backups of custom elements apart.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move QElectroTech?
Copy the QElectroTech config folder with the app closed plus your project files. Collections and settings travel in config. Projects live wherever you saved them.
Custom elements missing. Where are they?
Check the config folder for custom elements first. Missing parts usually mean the collection path changed. Repoint it inside the app settings.
