Can I move headers from one computer to another?

Again, apologies if asked/answered - quick search didn't turn it up.

I had to reinstall NewsbinPro after my hdd crashed. Thanks, Quade, for solving my size issue. But I can't get enough headers to load - and frankly, I'm tired of waiting.

I also have it running on my laptop - with all my groups, all my headers. Can I just copy a file(s) from one to the other and have all my data on the new install computer?

It "looks" like I can just copy the entire SPOOL_V6 folder and contents, and it should work. Is that a valid assumption?

thanks again.

Yes - doing that will transfer the headers across intact.

and again,

THANKS. Will do it tonite. Easynews and NBP 6.4 aren't loading headers worth a dang. But I DO have them on the other box. VERY happy this will work. Image link not allowed for unregistered users
