Recovering OBS Scenes from Backup

[Megami]

I recently had a windows crash that required me to rebuild the system; during so, my apps got deleted. Fortunately, I have a backup service, so I didn't really lose much. My question is, is it possible to recover the OBS scenes from a backup copy, and if so, what do I need to look for and what do I need to do? I don't know if this is any different from Exporting, which I haven't done previously.

It is! They're actually stored as a part of your User Profile in Windows (as they should be, per Microsoft).

You can find them in your backup at: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio\basic
Just place the 'profiles' and 'scenes' folders there into the same spot on your new system under your new username while OBS is not running.

Do note that if any of your source images/sounds/videos/overlays/etc are in a different location on the new hard disk, you'll have to update each of them in OBS to tell it where each one is, since it uses absolute filepaths and not relative.
