Confirm Backup Method - Single click?

Post by Homer81 »

Just wanted to check that with BI 5.3.1.6 that the correct way to full backup the system is to "Export Settings" on the About screen.

Will this cover the license and all the camera settings?

Thanks Mike.

Yes, i'm building a new PC and plan to migrate my set up to that new system.

The number of camera's and a docker requirement for another app. has the current system of 3 years being overworked.

Thanks Mike. This helps a lot.

Curious why the DB folder needs migrating (creating) - Is it so BI thinks it's the same machine?

Yes. It's the simplest and quickest way to regain normal functionality. I copy all storage and database folders to the new PC in the same places and follow those instructions.
