Depends on what resources you have available. A Zip drive or some external
drive with at least 100mb of space works well. There are many ways of doing
it-- someone else might be able to offer a simpler one.
A few steps are required. You need to figure out how much space your
current TS requires after it has been ZIPped. Use the PKZIP program
(version 2.04g or later) to compress your TS files.
In a DOS Window, type the command:
pkzip C:\tsbackup.zip /s /e c:\omega\*.*
This will create a compressed file of your entire Omega directory and all
the files. You will need to check the size of the tsbackup.zip file that is
created to see if it will fit on whatever external media you're going to
copy it to. If it's too big, you will need to segment a larger file (such
as 40BONN.DAT if you're using BMI) to a separate compressed file and exclude
it from your other ZIP file. Copy your ZIPped file(s) to the external media.
Install TS on your new machine using the original CD Rom. Attach your
external Zip Drive (or whatever you're using) to your new computer and unzip
(PKUNZIP) the compressed files to your new installation of TS. Don't forget
to move the beloved Dongle to your new machine.
If any of this sounds confusing, best to hire a local nerd for a couple of
bucks to do it for you-- Good Luck!
