Hi frankz
Okay, so updated my current home computer install version to the latest version, and then backed it up using MusicBee backup so I could migrate it to a home server portable installation: MB > File > Library > Backup Library ...
AppData Folder: MusicBee Settings Folder --> E:\BackUps\MusicBee\Complete\AppData
Library Folder: \\WindowsServer\Users\James\Library --> E:\BackUps\MusicBee\Complete\Library
Install Folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\MusicBee\ --> E:\BackUps\MusicBee\Complete\Installation\
The folder that actually has all my music files in it is on the home server, so no need to back it up: \\Windows Server\Music
Then, I installed the portable version to \\Windows Server\Users\James\MusicBee.
Next, I created new folder inside the portable install folder \\Windows Server\Users\James\MusicBee\Library.
Next, I manually copied my backed up data to the new portable location ...
E:\BackUps\MusicBee\Complete\AppData --> \\Windows Server\Users\James\MusicBee\AppData
E:\BackUps\MusicBee\Complete\Library --> \\Windows Server\Users\James\MusicBee\Library
I can't see anything I need in the installation folder, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
Finally, I held the Shift key down and launched \\Windows Server\Users\James\MusicBee\MusicBee.exe on my home computer.
This gave me the option to create a new library or point to an existing one. I selected to open an existing one:
\\Windows Server\Users\James\MusicBee\Library
However, this last step didn't work. I got an error about not being to access the file, folder, or library (I can't remember which). But if I open MusicBee without holding down the Shift key, it finds my old library, which is also on the Windows Server (see above path for original library location), and everything comes up just like I had it.
So I could be done at this point I suppose, but I really wanted to have things a little more neat and tidy and have everything in one folder, except my actual music files, at: \\Windows Server\Users\James\MusicBee, including my Library folder. Is that not possible or do I need to do something different?
Thanks again for all your help!
James
