Topic: Moving Recorder to new laptop
I posted the question below on the tail end of a previous thread about moving to a new laptop but it failed to receive a response so I thought I would start a new thread in the hopes that someone might spot this and provide the solution.
"After a bit of a struggle, I've managed to set up stand-alone Recorder 6 on a new laptop running Windows 8.1. However, I've found it impossible to get my new version to recognise the backup file from the old machine. On installing Recorder onto the new laptop I did a backup to discover where the backup would save to, then I renamed that backup and copied in the backup from the old laptop. However, then trying to restore the database produced an error message to the effect that a valid backup file couldn't be found. I tried doing the restore while the Recorder version was 6.17 but have since upgraded to 6.22, apparently successfully, but the restore process still doesn't recognise the backup file.
Could you let me have the detailed instructions to do the restore using the tools?
Thanks,
Steve"
If it isn't possible to restore the database by another means, it would still be handy to know that so I can set about importing from the import files I used to populate the old laptop.
