How to transfer database to second computer
Hi guys. I need your technical expertise to remind me how to transfer my songs/singer database from my main laptop to my show laptop.
I\'ve done this many times in the past but have not been KJ for six years and need to duplicate my database from one to the other. Thanks in advance. Lloyd Te Kani

Re: How to transfer database to second computer
Hi Walt. My songs are currently on internal C drive and I also want to change them from .kma to .kmh at your suggestion to save disk space.
Kind regards Lloyd Te Kani

Re: How to transfer database to second computer
Since you want to re-index your songs as you mentioned on the other post, I would get an external hard drive and start your new indexing on that drive. I have several external drives. I have a very large data base and can\'t take the chance of losing all my DJ and Karaoke songs. All of my drives are identical so that I can use them with any of my computers that are running Hoster. So, I would recommend you always have a backup drive. You said you wanted to be able to run Hoster on your Show Laptop. Are you also going to keep Hoster on your current computer? I ask this because you need another license to install a second Hoster program on a second computer.

Re: How to transfer database to second computer
Hi again Walt. I’ve used Hoster for some years now and as I’ve touched on in earlier posts I have needed to update my songs/singers database on a few occasions in the past so have two copies of Hoster on two seperate laptops. My problem is I can’t recall the steps I took, although I do recall it to be a relatively simple process. I guess it may have something to do with age and the 6 year gap since I operated as a KJ. While I currently use internal hard drives, I do have two external hard drives to use also. I hope this explains my current situation satisfactorily.
Kind regards Lloyd T.

You still will won\\\'t be where you want to be based on your earlier post. You wanted to re-index your songs. That is why I suggested doing this using an external drive. If you choose this you want to wait until the new song indexing is complete before doing the backup/restore that I explained above. Once again, if I haven\'t followed you correctly, advise.
