digidutch Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 My laptop is dying and I want to know if/how I can transfer all LOR files to another laptop so I do not have to start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 There's lots of ways to do it, some are easier and some are more complex...* Use a thumb drive to transfer files from one laptop and then copy them from the thumb drive to the new laptop* Use an external USB hard drive to copy the drives from the old laptop to the new* Use an on-line file sharing / backup service to store copies of the LOR files and then copy / restore them to the new laptop* Use the network in your house (if you have one) to copy the files from the old laptop to the new oneWhich method sounds doable?

Backup till your blue in the face! I have my LOR Folder backed up on my external hard drive and online at MiMedia http://www.mimedia.com/. You get 7 gigs free and it automatically backs up daily.As for transferring, like everyone else said, use an external hard drive or thumb drive. If the folders are different on the new computer, you will have to edit all the sequences to find the media files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khawes Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I posted this elsewhere, but it seem useful here too.I've got a separate computer setup as the show computer with nothing "extra" running on it.I use dropbox to synchronize between the two.I have a lor.bat in my startup folder that looks like this:@subst s: c:drop_boxLight-O-Ramaon my sequencing and my show computer.LOR is setup to use S: for all my files.Dropbox is configured to sync across the lan, and handles backing up for me too.Full disclosure: if you use http://db.tt/mli9Ukq to signup for dropbox we both get an extra 250 MB of space.
