Hey everyone
I'm an owner of Ns3 and Ns2.
When I was backing up my NS2, the whole procedure took about an Hour.
Now After trying to backup my NS3 several times , it took something like a minute or two.
I suspect the backup didn't go as expected because it completed very quickly.
Did anybody notice if the speed of the backup process is now (with the NS3) much faster than it was with the NS2?
I will be happy and grateful to get an answer.

Re: NS3 Backup is much faster now?
The long duration is if you're backing up your pianos and samples. If youe backup is only a couple minutes, it sounds like you are only saving the programs and not the actual piano and sample files.

Re: NS3 Backup is much faster now?
There is a cache feature in Nord Sound Manager that was added in July of 2017, so the first backup to a computer will take a long time, but the others will be much quicker (like only a minute or two). You will notice that all of your backup files are around 2.4GB so you have everything you need should you perform a restore.

Hello,
Does anyone have information on the availability of the cache feature for the Stage 2 ?
Of course I understand this is not Nord's top priority but maybe this feature can be quickly implemented ?

Re: NS3 Backup is much faster now?
Even on the NS2, if you don't create a new backup file but only update an existing one, Nord Sound Manager will check if pianos and samples are the same, and only update the one that have been uploaded-cancelled. In this way, the backup lasts just a few minutes.
Of course, this will not work if you want to keep every old version of your setup, just in case.

Well you can still make a copy of the old version (saving it with a different name) before performing the new backup and then reuse the original (last backup) file, to take advantage of the auto-update feature

hahaha of course, I actually do this but forgot to write it. Always better to give more advice rather than less!
