When running the new installer for the TTP.ToolBarPro, your toolbar’s layout – stored in the ToolBarCore.xml file in your Documents\NinjaTrader 8\TTP folder – and your toolbar’s button templates – stored in the ToolBarButtonTemplates.xml file in the same folder – will be overwritten. If you want to keep your personalized Toolbar layout, you must create a ToolBarPro backup file that can be restored later.

Creating a backup of your Toolbar Layout

Open the ToolBarPro Settings UI. 

• Right-click on the header of the ToolBarPro’s main panel – the black bar above the buttons, to open the ‘Settings’ UI.

• You will then see the ToolBarPro Settings window popup.

• Navigate to the ‘Utilities’ menu and select ‘Backup.’ This will create a .tb8 backup file within the directory \Documents\NinjaTrader 8\TTP\Backups containing your toolbar’s layout with all your drawn objects on the charts.

Restoring a backup of your Toolbar Layout

• Open the Toolbar Settings UI. 

• Right-click on the header of the ToolBarPro’s main panel – the black bar above the buttons
• Navigate to -> Utilities -> Restore

• Your toolbar backup files are located in your Documents\NinjaTrader 8\TTP\Backups directory (pictured below).

• Select the .tb8 backup file you wish to restore, then click the “Open” button to load.
• You will see a pop-up message as shown below:

• Click “Yes” to include all the Toolbar Drawing objects previously saved in the Backup file, or “No” if you would like to load the Toolbar layout without any drawing objects.
