MOVING
AN INSTALLED CLIENT TO ANOTHER COMPUTER
This
article describes the procedure for moving the RBackup Client
software to another computer, after it has been running
for a while on the original computer. This is done to maintain
the original settings, encryption keys, and passwords.
Note:
The folder structure on the new computer must be identical
to that of the old computer IF you want to be able to restore
files to their original locations. Otherwise, restored files
will create folders in the old structure on restore to the
new computer. In many cases, this is what you want. In some,
it's not.
Install
the RBackup Client software from a distribution CD or the
Internet onto the new computer.
When
asked for any input, like name, address, username, password,
ANYTHING, click the CANCEL button. Click CANCEL until the
new RBackup Client stops without registering.
Copy
the file c:\program files\Remote Backup\backup.mdb from the
old computer into the same folder on the new computer.
Start
the RBackup Client on the new computer and verify that it
works.
Uninstall
the RBackup Client software from the first computer.
CAUTION:
DO NOT leave the Client software on the first computer. If
it runs it may over-write backup files from the new computer.
