VirtualDJ Documents home folder with database.xml, settings and Backup archives on Windows.
Last updated
VirtualDJ keeps its master database, settings, sampler banks and controller mappings in a Documents home folder, with per-drive local databases for music on other disks. The database.xml file indexes every analyzed track.
The built-in database backup zips everything into a Backup subfolder. Copy the home folder and the whole DJ setup, cues included, moves machines.
Where VirtualDJ stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\VirtualDJ
Holds database.xml, settings.xml, sampler banks, mappers and the Backup folder with automatic zip archives. Create backups from the browser options menu. Music on other drives gets local VirtualDJ database folders at each drive root. Copy the home folder with VirtualDJ closed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up VirtualDJ?
Run the database backup from browser options, which zips everything into Documents\VirtualDJ\Backup. Copy that folder plus the zips for a portable archive.
Where are VirtualDJ cue points?
In database.xml inside the folder above, per analyzed track. They travel with the database backup, not with the audio files.
