Swapping PC's - Best way to migrate catalog?

[jxm28788]

As per previous thread, my old PC is on the way out so I have built a new one. What is the best way to get the 3 sites (using developer 6.1.5) from my old pc to the new one?

Will a snapshot do? or an export?

does these options copy the 'global' settings such as the payment provider config, or do I have to copy those manually?

Hi John

For each site, you could simply use a snapshot (Go to 'File | Snapshot | Export Snapshot'), and import it into the new pc. Make sure if you want to transfer the orders, that 'Overwrite all Target orders' is ticked. All settings will be transferred including payment provider.
One thing i would suggest, is that if your images are pointing to my documents or something outside of Actinic, then you manually need to set the location on your new pc.

Kind Regards

personally I'd take backup copies of each site1 too. You may not need them, but better safe than sorry.
