Hi there,

are there any IT techs on here with any experience of supporting GARAGEBase Pro at all?.

If so I need a little help for my friend in transferring the database from his existing dying laptop to his new desktop.

I have tried their website, but it isn't the most helpful one in this world.

Many thanks in advance.

Phil.

Looks like a very small company, i would bet its a single developer!

Best bet is probably email them and just ask how you back up the database.

Thanks for the reply, have sent them an email tonight, so we'll see what comes of it.

Do you know what the DB is running on? For example SQL?

SQL isn't a database, its a method of accessing and manipulating data from a database. Just sayin...

Ok - Will reword it - A SQL Database?

 

Better?

I am using this next time I encounter banter in the office! Brilliant lol

Nerd fight .....

Reading the site it is talking about storing the data on a server and mapping drives - which would suggest that it isn't a client server based SQL Database.

 

This may be relevant from their website :-
