Re: lost config
Hello Joe, J> Any suggestions on what I did wrong or what the issue is? Anyone else have this issue. Haven't heard of this happening before. I suggest doing a backup of your working version 9 files. Then try installing 10 again over 9. If you run into the same problem, uninstall 9, install an empty 10 then restore your version 9 backup. Hope that helps. -- Best regards, Richardmailto:the...@newmangroup.com === Using The Bat! v10.3.2 (64 bit) on Windows 10 Current version is 9.1.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: [T/N: 7232C0F3]: Upgrading The Bat!
Hello Ian, > I need to preserve the existing message database and apart from a > separate copy of the messages and then doing Backup through the Tools > menu, is there any thing I need to do? In addition to the TB internal backup of your message database and settings, I would do a full backup of TB program files and data files. I would then uninstall TB and the message database so you can install 9.3.4 fresh without any possible corruptions that may have happened in between. Once your new 9.3.4 is installed you should be able to use TB's restore to restore your message database, address book and settings. This should avoid any quirky differences that may exist between 4.2 and 9.3.4. The full backup of TB program and dataa files will allow you to return to your pre-9.3.4 state just in case things do not go as smoothly as we both think they should.

Re: Moving to a new pc
Hello Tom, T> thank you for your assistance. When you refer to the tbk file that's the backup files, right? Yes, the TBK file is the Bat backup file. To prepare for moving, I would first go to the Folder Maintenance Center and run everything. That will compress your files and to hopefully assure that everything is aligned. Then I would run a new full backup just to use for the transfer rather than relying on your existing weekly backup. T> Will that include also my templates? Yes, your TBK backup should include your templates, account information, address book, everything. Just make sure that you have checked all the boxes including global for the backup. T> Do you think one or the other method is safer? I think transferring via the TBK backup is safer and cleaner . . . when it works (it usually does). Running the Maintenance Center first should help insure this. If it doesn't work, it is probably because of corruptions in your files that weren't fixed by running Maintenance. Then Peter's method of copying the data directory over will work, quite probably bringing the file corruptions over. Remember, you still have the original data files and, probably/hopefully, a normal system backup of the same as insurance. Hope this helps. -- Best regards, Richardmailto:the...@newmangroup.com === Using The Bat! v9.0.16.9 (BETA) (64 bit) on Windows 10 Current version is 8.0.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Moving to a new pc
Hello Tom, Peter's suggestions should work just fine for you. I keep my TB data files on a separate hard drive/partition. And have gone through the same exercise you are encountering. I usually do a backup in TB and move the files over via the backup to keep things in sync. If you install TB in the new machine and open TB it will look for a TBK. 1) If you want your data in the normal default location just open the new install of TB without allowing it to bring over the TBK info or setting up any account. That will establish the default data directory. Then point TB to your TBK and it will bring over everything to the default location. 2) If you want you data in another location, give TB that location during set-up or go back into the installed TB and change the mail directory (under Options, Preferences, System) to the location you want. Then have TB import your TBK file. Your choice on which method you prefer. -- Best regards, Richardmailto:the...@newmangroup.com === Using The Bat! v9.0.16.9 (BETA) (64 bit) on Windows 10 Current version is 8.0.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
