This is a question that gets asked quite frequently, so with the help of Zubaz I wanted to put together this quick how-to on backup and restore your Fences layouts.

You can restore your snapshots if you are having issues with your current layout, or want to move them to another PC.

===Layout snapshots===
In the Fences configuration you can see your snapshot settings and a display of your current snapshots. You can also set Fences to take daily snapshots or manually take one.

Snapshots are stored in the following directories:

7/8/10: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Stardock\Fences\Backups

You will need to replace USERNAME with your user account name on your PC.

Alternatively, you can import the following registry key into the new machine's registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Fences

===To restore a snapshot:===
*Right click on the desktop and select "Configure Fences..."
*Click on "Layout and snapping" on the left hand side of the configuration window that appears.
*Select a snapshot you wish to revert to. A preview window will appear showing you what the desktop will look like.
*Click Restore Snapshot to revert the desktop to this preview.
