Backup, Update and Move LightBurn with User Bundles

Why this matters

Build a repeatable backup routine for LightBurn settings, devices, libraries and presets before updates or moving to another computer.

How it works

• User Bundles can package LightBurn settings, custom hotkeys, devices, Material Libraries, Art Libraries and supported presets.
• Project files are not included in a User Bundle and must be copied separately.
• Current LightBurn versions use .lbzip bundles as a primary migration mechanism between computers.

Practical workflow

1. Before a major update, export a User Bundle containing the configuration components you care about.
2. Copy all project files separately to a second storage location.
3. On a new computer, install LightBurn first, then import the bundle.
4. Review imported devices and libraries before production use.
5. Keep dated backup bundles instead of overwriting the same backup forever.

What to watch for

• Do not assume a bundle contains .lbrn2 project files.
• Importing a device can create another device copy; review names and active selection.
