App preview
Your whole Serato library. One safe copy.
Choose a full, incremental or single-crate backup and keep a restorable copy of the library you rely on.
Why Backup
Protect the library that powers your sets.
Backup is built for DJs who need their Serato crates, playlists and music files safe before a drive fails, a laptop changes, or a library gets corrupted.
Protect your music files
Create a copy of the tracks your library depends on, so you are not relying on one drive or one laptop.
Restore with confidence
Keep a clean backup ready for new machines, emergency recovery, or peace of mind before making big library changes.
What you get
Three backup options for different jobs.
Choose the backup type that fits what you need today, from a full safety copy to a quick update after adding new music.
01Full backup
Copy everything important.
Back up your music library and Serato folder so your crates, cues, playlists and library data are saved together.
02Incremental backup
Only copy what changed.
Top up an existing backup with new tracks since the last run, instead of copying your whole library every time.
03Single-crate backup
Take one crate with you.
Package up one crate when you only need a specific set, gig folder or playlist on another drive or machine.
Backup workflow
Choose a backup, pick a destination, and let MLT do the rest.
The workflow stays simple, whether you are making your first complete backup or keeping an existing backup up to date.

FAQ
Questions before you back up.
Straight answers about what Backup does and how it protects your Serato library.
What exactly gets backed up?
Your music files and the Serato library data that stores crates, playlists, cue points and database records. Our guide to backing up your Serato library explains why copying your music folder on its own is not enough.
Can I back up to an external drive?
Yes. You can choose an internal drive, external drive, network drive or another folder as your backup destination. If you are backing up ahead of a new laptop, see how to move your Serato library to a new computer.
Do I need to copy my whole library every time?
No. Use incremental backup when you only want to copy new tracks since your last backup.
Is Backup included with MLT Pro?
Yes. You can buy Backup on its own, or unlock it as part of MLT Pro with the rest of the paid tools.
