======Copying Speed-Quote Data to a different computer======

====Overview====

In order to copy Speed-Quote databases to another Speed-Quote computer you need to follow these steps:

  -Backup the data from the source computer and copy the files (*.sqz) to the destination computer.
  -Restore the backup data to the destination computer.

====Details====

===1. Backup the data from the source computer.===

{{:public:tutorials:db_management_icon.jpg|icon}}Backup the data on the source computer by using the Database Management screen.  To open the Database Management screen click on the icon that looks like a filing cabinet or select the option from the **Tools** menu.

The Database Management screen lists all the Speed-Quote databases.  Click on each database that you wish to transfer to the new computer to popup a menu of applicable options.  Click on the "Save to File" option in order to save that database to a backup file.

"Save to File" will create a single compressed file containing all the database elements.  By default, only the "Master Entry Sheet" product information is saved.  Make sure to check **ALL** of the check boxes to save all of the information needed as in the picture below.  We suggest that you do NOT enter a file password unless you will sending this information over the internet.  Passwords cannot be recovered if forgotten.

Once the OK button is clicked you will be prompted for a filename.  Select a location on your hard drive where you can easily find the file.  Type a name for the compressed database file and click the Save button.  After you have saved all the databases that you wish to transfer, copy the *.sqz files to the destination computer.

===2. Restore the backup data to the destination computer.===

Goto the Database Management screen on the destination computer (see step 2.) and select "Load Database->Load Speed-Quote Enterprise Database File".  Select one of the compressed database files (.sqz) that you saved in step 1 and click the Open button to restore the Database information and pictures.
