Title: Moving MC 10.x to a New Server help
Post by: scrappy on November 15, 2004, 08:36:37 am

I want to move all of my music library from one pc to a new dedicated server.  Here's what I did so far.  

I copied all of the music (~70 gigs ) to the new machine.  I used MC on the first machine to backup my Library file.

I installed MC on the new server and used the restore feature for the Library.

Here's the problem all of the files on the old pc were located on a different drive letter and path.  Since the "Library backup file" contains all of that path info how do I modify it to use the new path on the new server.

I know I could just import the files again but I made alot of changes to the files in MC and don't want to redo.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Scrappy - I'm trying to do a similar thing and wondered if you figured out an answer.  Basically, I'm also trying to move files from my PC to an external server, and wish to preserve all Playlists, etc., but haven't figured out a way to do so.  Please let me know if you've cracked the code.  Thanks!  Woodenshoes
