Handnet Lite: How do you backup and restore the database when migrating to another computer?

First, you need to back up the database from the existing installation. Go to the Database tab and click the Backup database button. This will create a backup file that you will place in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data.

There you will find a file that looks like this: RsiBio2DBMonday, June 30, 2014_11_23_4...

Copy and save this file to a thumb drive or other backup method.

Install Handnet Lite onto your new machine. Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data again and place the RSI backup file into the Data folder. Keep Handnet closed until you are finished loading the file.

Open the new Handnet Lite installation, go to the Database tab and click: Restore Database. Then click the large button at the top labeled “Click when you are finished with Database Operations.”

Restart Handnet Lite and your users and settings should be accessible.
