5.7 Snapshots
There exist different snapshot types with different read and write authoriza-
tions, depending on the user currently logged-in. A snapshot consists of one
to four files containing audio, input routing, output routing, and/or assignment
parameters. When creating a snapshot, the user decides which of the four pa-
rameter groups are contained in his new snapshot. Although he always sees
his snapshots as a whole, the individual snapshot files are hidden for him. The
initial snapshot is an exception as it has an additional parameter set.

5.7.1 Files, File Names, Extensions
All snapshot files are saved in the snapshots folder of the local file system;
for backup purposes or transfer between consoles they may be copied to a
USB memory device.
The snapshots folder contains the initial snapshot file, a folder for global
snapshots, and one folder each for every user.
The user’s folder name is a unique user ID (administrator = 0, default user =1,
...) which makes the file structure independent from the user data management
and allows changing a user’s name.
Each user folder contains two additional folders: default and private. The
default folder contains default snapshot files (optional); the private folder
contains all private snapshot files (optional). The number of snapshots is
limited by the profile assigned to the user.
Only the initial and the default snapshots have fixed file names. The snapshot
file type is distinguished by its DOS file name extension.
