Settings & keep-time · Advanced, self-backup and Demo Mode
Will I lose my Storage Studio settings if I reinstall macOS?
Short answer: Not if your external drive holds a self-backup. Click Backup now before erasing, then after reinstalling open Settings → Advanced → Self-backup and Restore the latest copy.
Not if your external drive has a recent self-backup. Storage Studio copies its own settings, transfer history and rule state to the drive every day, precisely so a Mac reinstall doesn't lose them.
After reinstalling and setting Storage Studio up again, connect the drive, open Settings → Advanced → Self-backup and click Restore on the most recent copy. Click Backup now before you erase your Mac to make sure the latest settings are saved.
