Backup and Restore for Libronix v3

There have been many discussions on migrating Libronix from one
computer to another and wanting to share or synchronise specific
Libronix folders e.g. Notes/Annotations. So here is a solution
that is specific to Libronix v3, that uses the relevant folders to achieve
a secure backup of your user files and preferences so that you don't
have to start from scratch each time you move computers, and that also
enables a succesful migration/transfer without inserting every Libronix
CD you purchased in the past!

It also enables you to synchronise multiple installations of Libronix.

It works across a LAN, but doesn't reach into the clouds!

It works on Windows XP/2000, Vista and Windows 7.

For the tech minded, it uses Robocopy which is supplied with Vista/Win7 but a copy is attached for Win XP/2k.

More details,explanations and error
messages can be found in the
enclosed Instructions and procedures.

I am trasfering L3 from an xp notebook to a vista notebook in order to reformat my xp notebook (L4 destroyed it). I am at the step of putting L3 on the Vista computer:

1. I used my Gold DVD to install L3

2. I ran all the updates to be at the latest L3 release so it would match my back up copy

3. I copied and pasted all my resources to the vista notebook

4. I copied and pasted GetPaths into the windows folder on vista

5. But when I run the PERMISSIONS script, I am denied permission. I dont know why. Can you help?

I have taken the precaution of copying all L3 folders I had on my xp computer. If I cannot use the scripts, can I manually copy and paste the folders in the right places on the vista notebook? If so, what are all the paths L3 hides in Vista?

thanks

Does anyone have an answer to this question I have asked?

Kevin A. Purcell

Have you tried right clicking it and use run as admin?

Mark

That worked. Thanks.

But when I run the PERMISSIONS script, I am denied permission. I dont know why. Can you help?

If you read the Instructions you would know the answer to that one:-

IMPORTANT: Permission to perform Restore operations/scripts

The restore operations/scripts will not run in Vista unless you have access to certain Libronix folders
(section 5). The Permissions.cmd
script will provide all the necessary permissions when you right click the file
and run it with Administrative privilege.

[Sorry[:D] but you will also gather that Files is not really a forum but a repository]

If you read the Instructions you would know the answer to that one:-

I did read the instructions, several times before posting my question. The answer to my question ended up being what is listed below. I added it to the instructions I keep locally in order not to forget:

"If you cannot run permissions, try right clicking it and use run as admin"

I did not realize this was the files forum. I see some changes have been made to the forum to help us realize which post is in which category. Dave, if you would like me to delete my entries in order to keep your original post separate, just let me know.

ok i got this far

Run Permissions.cmd so that Restore operations will
have the necessary access to Libronix files.

when that ran i was denied access. i tried right clicking the cmd file but i didnt find any 'run as admin' option.

what next?
