DOS/Datapax 6 Support
Backup/Move Datapax to a new computer (DOS)
To move datapax to a new computer all you need to do is copy the ENTIRE Datapax folder (normally C:\Datapax, but it may be on a different drive) and then paste it on the new computer. You can do this by burning it to a CD, or copying it on to a USB/Thumb drive. After moving it to the new computer you need to open the Datapax folder and find the file D.BAT. Right click and drag this icon to the desktop to create the shortcut (be sure you have copied the shortcut and not moved over the file. You can tell it's a shortcut by the small arrow at the bottom of the icon)
WARNING! Do Not move datapax to a directory whose name is longer than 8 characters. Due to the nature of DOS it is best to install it on the root directory (C:\) to forestall any issues.
You're done!
Please do be aware that if you are sharing the datapax data between 2 or more computers you will need to share the datapax folder on the network and map the users to the share. Please contact your systems administrator to perform these tasks.
