Moving with many files

If you need to transfer a lot of files from computer A to computer B and are somewhat experienced in using Windows Explorer and handling files, you can make the move easier as follows.

In the description above, omit the backup of the files to computer A and the restoration to computer B.

Each card file is stored in a subfolder of a data source . To open the data source on computer A in Windows Explorer, select the data source in the tree view of the AGS Navigator with the left mouse button, and then left-click the link containing the full path to the data source in the details view of the AGS Navigator. Then copy the entire contents of this folder to the folder of the corresponding data source on computer B, which you can access via the AGS Navigator.
