Transfer data wizard

 

 

 

In order to transfer data, you need to click on “Transfer data” from the first screen of the wizard.

If the “Show procedure details” option is enabled, you will see a page with details of the transfer process.

 

The Transfer data procedure allows you to transfer your data from an old NDS installation to a new NDS Installation. Data transfer includes: primary database, external files, report banners and headers, historical data and secondary databases.

With this procedure, your data will be saved in a destination folder. You can also choose external, cloud or network folders for the process.

The process will create a Transfer file ready to be restored from “Restore data” process, in the new computer.

 

Transfer procedure:

 

1.   Select a destination folder
You need to choose a destination folder for the Transfer file to be created.
Clicking on the navigate button will open the folder selection.

You can also change the file name from this section.

2.   Select items to include in the Transfer file
The primary database is always included in the transfer. You can choose to include external files and secondary databases (if you have any) to the transfer.
For the transfer of external files, you must select the current path where your external files are stored (default Documents\NDS Session files).


3.   Set a password (mandatory)
To proceed with the transfer you must set a password for the transfer file.
IMPORTANT: we recommend to save this password that will be required for the Restore process.
If the password will be lost, the possibility of data restore is not guaranteed.

 

4.   End the procedure
After you select the destination folder, which items include in the transfer, and the password to protect the file, the process will create a Transfer file in the selected path. It will be possible to restore this file from your new computer.


To restore data in your new installation:

−      Copy the Transfer file generated by this procedure to the new computer where the new installation of NDS is done.
If you need to install NDS in your new computer, please follow instruction described in the Step 2 below.

−      In your new computer, Open Rumen Tools (from Desktop shortcut, or NDS à Utility tab)
