Migrating Daz to new system

lbartels

Hello all,

Forgive me if this has been asked before.
I have finally built a better machine for my rendering. But I did a lot of work on my old machine.  Specifically, I saved a lot of poses in the Daz library.. As well as some custom items in my "local user" area.
Plus, I moved my "Daz Library" to a secondary disk.

Sure, I can download Daz, and get it running, that's not a real problem.
It's all the custom, personalized data that I'm worried about.
Do I simply copy directories from old machine to new, and it'll just show up? Or is there more that I need to do..

Thanks in advance.

Either move the old HDD over to the new maching and tell DS to look over there or simply copy the entire library to a external disk and then copy it to the new machine and tell DS where to look,

Option 1 is not for everyone but the easiest method (did that last time myself) where as option two takes a lot more time and if you dont have USB3 ports, it can take forever (24 hours last time I did it just to copy over USB2 ports and 1 hour to the new machine over USB3)

Thanks.. 
I was a little worried about the "custom content".... but copying the disks worked a treat...
The nit-picky part was going into both DIM and DAZ and setting all the disk/directory paths correctly. Everything's working fine now.

Thanks, again.
