Transfer of SWISSLOG to another PC

[EA3GCV]

Hi,

The cloud technique you have used is perfect to share the same database in 2 or more computers without the need of copy the Swisslog database from the PC having most updated QSOs into the other PC. But you still need to do often backups copies because if the database in the cloud fails or become corrupted, you will still need a backup to restore it.

You can use another folder in the Cloud and save there the backup copy using the File / Save... option. This way the backup will be accesible from all your PC. If you copy it in local, obviously this backup won't be accesible from other PC. Choose whatever method fit to you but make often backup copies.

Apart from the Swisslog database which, of course, is the most important file to be saved because it includes all your QSOs and My QTH, I also recommend to keep a copy of your whole C:\Swisslog, once Swisslog is fully configured. There are many files which should be saved as well: Swisslog configuration file (SwisslV5.ini), LoTw/eQSL configuration files (SWL_LOTw.ini and SWL_eQSL.ini from the LotW/eQSL folders), World Map configuration (Swisslog.env from the MAPS folder) , user field customizations of the Previous and New QSO tabs from the QSO Entry (all *.RPG files in the Reports folder) etc. In case of troubles or a hard disk failure, you will only need to install Swisslog from the original installer in the default folder then copy back to your hard disk the backup copy of your whole C:\Swisslog and Swisslog will be exactly as it was.

I always suggest to write in English in the forum. This way all users will be able to understand. The forum doesn't offer any automatic translation so the only way is to do it in the old fashioned way or use Google translator then copy/paste ;-)
