5. Browse to the location of the backup file you wish to use (named BACKUP.ZIP by
default). Click the Open button to initiate the restoration process. PCCharge will begin
to unpack your restoration information into the PCCharge installation directory. You
may be prompted to insert additional disks (if the original backup spanned several
disks). Once the restoration process has completed, shut down and restart PCCharge.
You may now proceed with processing transactions.
Transferring PCCharge to a Different Computer
(
Note: This procedure will not allow you to use PCCharge on two different
computers. This procedure only allows you to transfer your installation of
PCCharge from one computer to a different one.
1. Start your copy of PCCharge on the "old" computer.
2. The person who normally settles/closes batches should complete this step.
Settle or close any batches you may have that are open. To do so, click Transactions
on the PCCharge menu bar (near the top of the PCCharge main screen). Click End-
of-Day. Proceed with normal batch settle/close steps. You must settle/close ALL open
batches for ALL accounts before transferring--otherwise, data may be lost and money
may not be transferred to your account(s).
If your account is host-based and set to "auto close", it is recommended that you
transfer PCCharge after the auto close has taken place and before any new
transactions are processed.
3. Review the section System Requirements to make sure that the "new" computer
meets those requirements (see page 14).
4. Install PCCharge on the "new" computer. Follow the standard installation procedure
as described in the section Installation (see page 21). You do not need to start, set
up, or configure PCCharge at this time.
5. Return to the "old" computer. Create a backup of your PCCharge files using the
procedure described in the sub-section Backing Up Your PCCharge Files (found
earlier in this Backup/Restore section). Make sure that whatever media you use to
back up your PCCharge files can be accessed by the "new" computer.
6. Return to the "new" computer. Start PCCharge.
• Click No when asked if you have a configuration disk.
• Enter your PCCharge serial number.
• Click Cancel when the Configure Setup (or Preferences) window appears.
• Click OK when PCCharge warns that your credit card company is not set up.
7. Restore your PCCharge files (from the "old" computer) using the procedure described
in the sub-section Restoring PCCharge Backup Files (found earlier in this
Backup/Restore section).
8. You may now begin processing transactions using your "new" computer. We
recommend that you wait at least one month before uninstalling PCCharge from your
"old" computer, or that you back up your entire PCCharge directory from that
computer to removable archive media (CD-R, or some other comparably sized media).
