    Steps:

    Tested today on the latest version of the PC client. Logged into the original PC where the equipment macros were created. From the character selection screen chose Shift-Cntl-Alt-B to backup the settings file to the server. Selected Yes. Received "Settings Saved" confirmation dialog box. (Note: Only one character's settings file can be stored on the server at one time in the PC client, even if there is more than one character on the character selection screen.)

    Moved to second machine with clean install of current FFXI client. At the character selection screen chose Shift-Cntl-Alt-R and confirmed loading of character's settings file from the server. Received success dialog.

    Logged in as character and verified that Macros were present however Macro Equipment Sets were still at the default settings. The Equipment Set Macros did not transfer.

    Tested again by creating a equipment set in the new environment. Logged out, retrieved the settings from the server again on the character selection screen using Shift-Cntl-Alt-R.

    The test equipment set macro was not overwritten.

    It appears that when Macro Equipment Set functionality was introduced that provisions were not made to update the backup and restore of settings to also transfer these new type of macros.
