Copying configuration to new computer

[dantel]

I have Vimalin running on two different PCs, both licensed. I would like to copy the configuration from one PC to the other so that I do not have to recreate the backups and schedule. Is this possible?

Hi,

Officially.. no, there is no such feature at the moment.
Having said that, I think the following will work for copying the schedules over:

From the VM that has the schedules already go to folder: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Vimalin\Config
Where <user> is the username that is logged in.

The locate the file: schedules.ini and copy that to the other PC, same location (C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Vimalin\Config) but obviously with the <user> of that other PC.
Make sure the Vimalin program is not running (the user interface I mean, it is OK if the background process is running)

There's more files in that folder, but I do not recommend copying them as:
- they are open
- have other effects such as that you overwrite the database with a copy of the other machine and that will have some side effects.
- they depend on each other having certain values in there.

Hope this helps,

Thank you. Your solution worked! The only change is that the "schedules" file that needed to be replaced was not in the User directory of the account that I was logged in as(domain\administrator), but instead in the User directory of the account that I was logged in as(administrator pre-domain join) when I created the schedule.
