RomanZ Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Blacky, It should work, but you should keep in mind few things:1. It must be the same platform, cross-platform settings copy won't work.2. Your paths must be completely same on new PC.3. The old instance of BTSync should never run, as your computer ID is stored in settings and must be unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacky Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Hi RomanZ, Thanks for this quick answer!i forgot to follow the topic, so i did not recognize earlier ;-) as the id has to be unique it does only make sense when a pc is deleted and setup new with the same drives and paths!all other cases will do some confusion in syncing and have to be configured new! right so far ??

RomanZ Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 @Blacky, That's right. This way is applicable only on full migration and old computer should not be working anymore. If you just want to duplicate settings, this way is going to cause really nasty issues, hard to identify and debug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
