No, you do either a restore or copy your saved mail directory, it amounts to the same. -- Groetjes, Roelof Moderator: Move it to another echo, please.

If you check "Addressbook" as part of your backup, it will be there. You should check everything to be backed up and you will be fine. -- Best regards, Richardmailto:the...@newmangroup.com === Using The Bat! v5.0.26.10 (ALPHA) on Windows XP6 Build 7601 Service Pack 1 Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

MR> What if no accounts have been set up (or at least not yet connected to MR> a mail server) at the time one restores from a backup? The proper way to restore a backup is placing the backup file on the new system, install TB and on the first run you tell TB to restore from backup. After the restore you close TB and restart it. That way even the registry settings should be restored >> My solution was to copy the folder structure to the new system and >> then install TheBat into this folder structure.

Yes, the only things that won't be preserved this way are the registry settings like window size and placement. -- Groetjes, Roelof Moderator alert! Well, yes ma'amsorry.

Migrating to a new computer - a few questions...
Hi, Tonight, I'll be migrating from this old Win XP (32 bit) desktop computer to a new Win 7 (64 bit) laptop. In order to make this as painless as possible, I hope I can get a few questions answered before I leap... I've never yet used the "restore from backup" function in the Bat, so this will be a new experience for me. As I try to understand it, here's what I'm planning on doing... 1. Install a fresh copy of Bat (v4.2.44.2) on the new machine, and input my registration code. 2. "Restore" from saved copy of backup (will have this saved on an external drive) 3. Replace default "Mail" folder with copy of current "Mail" folder (it's nearly 2 GB) 4. Install a new copy of TrueCrypt, move "Mail" folder into new TrueCrypt volume in a new location, then set appropriate new "Mail" file location within Bat preferences. I'm hoping this process will yield a perfectly functional "clone" of my current Bat setup. Does all this seem reasonable, so far? Are there any specific issues/problems I should be aware of in moving my Bat installation from this Win XP machine to my new Win 7 machine? Then... I've been using K9 SPAM filtering for many years now. Will this older program still work on a Win 7 64 bit machine? Thanks for any and all comments, recommendations, etc. that you might be able to offer! -- Melissa PGP Public Key: http://tinyurl.com/2cmefzy TB! v4.2.44.2 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
