GSAK - which files are needed.

Post by team waldron » 18 November 11 9:03 am

The video card on my laptop has died :evil: , but the hard drive is still functioning :) .

I've bought a new laptop and will be transferring all files from the old hard drive to the new laptop for later use.

I've downloaded a new copy of GSAk onto my new laptop.

Mty question is, given I don't have a backup :oops: , which files do I need to copy to the new hard drive to get my version of GSAK like my old version? The other alternative is can I import the database from my old verson to my new version?

I know this is why you should take backups, so next time I'll do it.

Thanks in advance.

If you had GSAK's automatic backup turned on, you can restore everything from GSAKAuto1.zip

to find this file it will be hidden under a file string like this

C:\Users\Glen\AppData\Roaming\GSAK\backup\GSAKAuto1.zip
