I was wondering the steps you use to backup ninjatrader including my indicators, etc. I want to back up everything and then install ver 7 when that is ready, but make sure that I don't lose anything so that if I have to go back to 6.5 there will be no problem. Also, I want to do this for emergency purposes in case my laptop crashes.
on to what are you backing-up ? i have 6.5 on a flash drive and bu files every weekend onto the flash
Backing up is always a good thing of course. But if your concern is 7 overwriting 6.5, my understanding is that you will be able to run both on the same pc. Which makes sense, since a shakeout period to identify problems is sure to happen.
To clarify: as we roll NT7 your NT6.5 installation will be left untouched -> you will be able to continue running NT6.5 although you may have installed NT7 in addition on the same machine. That being said: of course it makes sense to backup your installation on a regular basis.
