How to move Backup Properties to replaced hard drive

Fless · Post by **Fless** » Thu Feb 12, 2015 2:53 am

I am about to replace my hard drive c:, which apparently contains the backup properties. I don't backup anything from C:, but have a mirror backup for a different physical drive (S:), which holds all my source files. Backups are to a NAS (Z:).

What steps should be taken once I have installed the new hard drive c: in my PC (and installed FBackup, I assume), in order to get the backups to show up? I want to avoid doing a new backup since it takes so long (300GB).

Or am I stuck having it make the full copy? Thank you!

Hi,

You can make a backup of your FBackup configurations using the plugin, or you can simply install FBackup on the new C: drive, then open in FBackup the .fkc catalog file from the backup destination. That will recreate the backup job in FBackup so you can continue it.

That worked perfectly with no hassles. Thank you!

I'm glad it works fine.
