The Backup and Import mix option in DJ.Studio lets you save your projects as .DJS files, which can then be stored on other devices, or imported in DJ.Studio on another machine.

Please note that DJ.Studio does not automatically sync mixes across devices, so a manual backup and import process is required for accessing mixes on other computers.
