Greetings,  
I have recently installed 2019.0 and have imported a few songs from plain text, and edited them.

I copied the folder c:\Users\myusername.quelea to a USB drive, as well as the file  
c:\program files\quelea\quelea.properties

Anything else I should preserve?

Incidental question: Is “Quelea” pronounced like the bird?

All the best,  
–BM

It is pronounced like the bird 🙂

Backing up the C:\users\username.quelea folder is enough - that contains your modified quelea.properties file as well as all your bibles, themes, song database, etc.
