Backing up the Font Vault
To back up your Font Vault, copy it to a network location or external disk, or burn a copy to a CD or DVD.
NOTE: The Font Vault is a folder. To ensure the integrity of your font files, do not modify its contents.
To locate the font vault on Windows:
The default location for the Font Vault on Windows XP is:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application
Data\Extensis\Suitcase Fusion 4\
and on Windows Vista/Windows 7 is:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Extensis\Suitcase Fusion 4\
where [username] refers to the current user’s Windows user name. Open the folder named Suitcase Fusion 4,
then copy the folder whose name ends in .fontvault to a safe location.
You can also follow the steps below to locate your font vault.
1. With Suitcase Fusion 4 running, choose Edit > Preferences.
