SUMMARY

On the Master (live) PC, do a backup. On the new pc which has a new blank or demoted Transactor installation, restore the backup file using the Maintenance Menu or by overwriting the whole lab/live/data folder.

The procedure below is for physically duplicating the Transactor data to another pc. Also see the article Working remotely with Transactor.

Procedure: Duplicating Transactor data to another PC

Possible reasons: Putting the data on a duplicate installation for viewing and printing, or to transfer the live system from one PC to another.

Source PC:

• Do a normal backup when exiting Transactor.
• Look for the file on the backup drive whatever that is.
• Attach that file to an email or copy to a memory stick. The file format is mmddhhmm.zip(month,month,day,day,hour,hour,min,min.zip - for example, 04081207.zip for a file created on the 8th April at 12:07). 

Target PC:

• Do a backup even it you think this PC doesn't have any useful data on it. A good habit because if you follow this rule faithfully before restoring any data to any PC, it will protect you from accidentally overwriting your live data with an older backup.
• Go to the Windows Start Menu, Program Files, Transactor 61, Maintenance menu and choose Restore From Backup.
• Select the file that was emailed or copied to the memory stick, and click OK.
