After experiencing a hard drive failure last month I was forced to start my Music Bee database from scratch.  I have all my music saved on dropbox so i didn't lose any files but I did lose all my tags.  That being said I want to make sure I am making backups of my database file regularly.  Is there something built in to music bee to do this?  Can you set it to automatically backup every so many days?

All standard tags are saved within the music files itself, so I don't understand your comment that you've lost all your tags.

You can backup and restore the library settings and preferences with MB's backup and restore functions. See the Wiki https://musicbee.fandom.com/wiki/Backup_%26_Restore
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.
