Title: Can I Use C760 Backup File on New C860?
Post by: ArchiMark on March 02, 2004, 06:50:46 pm

Hi,

Sold a C760 a few months ago...big mistake...  :?

However, just got a new C860 yesterday!  

Keep various files on my PC from my C760 including backup files...

Can I use them to help get my C860 setup with apps/data the way it was on my C760?

Or would it mess things up?

Thanks for any advice!

Mark

There are 2 ways - 1) rename the c760 backup to be called c860, then the c860 backupsoftware will recognise - however yuo may end up overwriting newer libs with older stuff - so may not be so good.

2) Untar the backup (if you\'re using windows just add .tar to it and winzip will open it) and copy the files you want across manually

I\'d go for the 2nd approach myself, but the 1st may work without any probs

Good luck

Stu
