well I quite dont understand where they save to. I have a nice collection now I would like the back them up. Like lets say my brother gets on and starts moving my cues around. (yea annoying) how can I back them up? Another thing I noticed, I loose my cue's when the song is moved folder 2 folder. Then I started to think about all previous songs I had cue's on that I moved. Are the old cue's still there as junk files now? As you see im really in a mind pickle. Im not the kind of guy that post on the forums unless im really confused... help please

It's stored with the track in the database xml in the virtual dj folder, It looks like this
<Song FilePath="C:\Documents and Settings\founts.SYNTHET1C\My Documents\My Music\DJ Choons\Drum n Bass\dnb acapellas\lyrics_born_-_callin_out_(acapella).mp3" FileSize="4694016">

You should always have a database backup in case it gets corrupted. If you didn't want to replace the database every time you use VDJ, you could change the mapping of the hot cue buttons to have a shift button to set a cue and normal to go to the cue, just don't tell your bro how to set a cue and then he can't change them
shift button
set 'bro_lock' while_pressed
cue buttons
var_equal 'bro_lock' ? deck # set_cue # : deck # goto_cue # & deck # play
You need to move files internally with VDJ for it to move the saved information with the track, There is a plugin that can find the lost information and match it back to the track, but you have to be a registered Pro user to get it.
