Laptop to Dekstop File Transfer Question for P3

[jrstephens]

I posted this in another thread but want to make sure I get a response to it, so, here is a new thread for it.

I have one that I have the potential getting for little to nothing off my husband's school bid list. It needs about $100 of work on it but people have won them before for $5-20. So, I think $120 for a Gateway laptop is AWESOME! I am bidding on the one that he has already bought home to me. I will know sometime in June if I get it. The person in charge of bids is suppose to help us out to get it. I will be very depressed if I loose it after having it in my hands!

Here's my question. If I put P3 on my laptop and use it at shows. If I "back it up" do I use the "restore" on my desktop if I want to transfer the information to it. I would like to have ALL info on both. Does that make sense how I am thinking you can do it? This way, if one crashed I would not have to panic b/c everything is ready to go on the other one.

You got it! Back up one, then use that file to restore the other machine. Just make sure that you're always using one as the primary machine for doing your data entry, so you always back up from that one.

How long does it take to restore to put it on? About the same time as a back-up?and will EVERYTHING transfer..like contact info and little things like that.

Everything should transfer. I've only got the one machine, so I'm not sure. Based on the fact that it's a BACKUP, meant to restore your P3 data in case of catastrophic failure, then it should have everything in it.
