Acorn back up < answered>
Hey guys my pc failed and I got a new one up and running but I don't have a complete restore file it seems. I took the complete cncm file from old pc hard-drive. Is there any way to port over all my settings? Any help would be great!

Re: Acorn back up
I *think* you can just copy it over completely and it should work. IE, do the new install, copy the entire contents of /cncm structure over and replace. Might have a version conflict, but no harm in trying. I'm sure the regulars will be online to suggest other options ...

Re: Acorn back up
Just copy the replacement install, then replace. At worst, just delete it and undo or uninstall and start again.

Re: Acorn back up
Copy \cncm and \intercon with all their subdirectories from the old pc to the new one. That is all that is needed.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

Re: Acorn back up
If you dont have the actual files, then there isnt anything to use.
