You can also backup only those files of the BREIN PC that are needed to run the software on a new Windows machine. You need to save the complete BREIN program directory and the installed CODE software. If your BREIN system uses the optional external SQL connection you have to install the required database drivers on the new system as well.
Backup BREIN
In order to backup BREIN and CODE as easy as possible we have equipped the latest version of our installer program live.exe with a backup feature (you can get the program at
http://www.mtheiss.com/?c=4&content=support_download_tools). Copy the new version to the BREIN directory (very likely c:\brein) and start it. At the bottom you will find a backup button that starts the backup action. The installer program copies itself, together with all other files in the folder, to the backup location.
To restore BREIN on the new PC, run the installer live.exe in the backup folder and follow the instructions for the normal installation of the software.
Backup CODE
The CODE backup can be done the same way as the BREIN backup: Copy the latest version of live.exe to the CODE program folder (very likely c:\code) and use its backup feature.
Note, however, that the main application code.exe needs to be registered as OLE automation server on the new BREIN computer. In order to make this work you need to start the installer as administrator (Right-click on the program icon, select the option 'Run as administrator'). Alternatively, you can do the OLE server registration anytime afterwards running a command line as administrator and typing in the command 'c:\code\code.exe /regserver'.
