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
