How to Move TBRAC-2024 and Tournaments to a New Computer

There are times when you might need to move your TBRAC-2024 software and its data to a new computer, such as after purchasing a new machine or if your old computer has crashed or been repaired. Here are the steps to do this:

If Your Old Computer Still Works

  1. Backup Your Data:
    • Start TBRAC-2024 and navigate to Maintenance > Backup.
    • To back up tournaments, select Backup Tournament and save each tournament to a portable flash drive. If a tournament is open, go to File > Close Tournament first.
    • Back up system files by choosing Backup System Files and save them to the flash drive.
    • Save your local awards by selecting Backup Local Awards.

If your old computer is not functioning, try to locate your most recent backups. If backups are not available, unfortunately, you will need to re-enter your data manually.

Setting Up Your New Computer

  1. Install TBRAC-2024: Use the original CD, USB drive, or download the installer from our website's downloads page.
  2. Register the Software: Register TBRAC-2024 using the product registration key you received from CDE Software.
  3. Restore Your Data:
    • Navigate to Maintenance > Restore.
    • Restore each tournament one at a time from the flash drive by selecting Restore Tournament.
    • Restore system files by choosing Restore System Files.
    • Restore your awards from the flash drive by selecting Restore Local Awards.

By following these steps, you can successfully move your TBRAC-2024 software and all associated data to a new computer.
