ნუ გაებმებით თაღლითების მახეში. აქ არავინ უნდა მოგთხოვოთ ტელეფონზე დარეკვა, შეტყობინების გაგზავნა ან პირადი მონაცემების გაზიარება. რამე საეჭვოს შემჩნევისას გთხოვთ გვაცნობოთ „დარღვევის მოხსენებით“.

ეს თემა დაარქივებულია. დასვით ახალი კითხვა, თუ დახმარება გესაჭიროებათ.

I recently moved from Windows XP to Windows 7 and consequently had to re-install Thunderbird. I copied the information from "C:\Documents and Settings\name\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles." I now have 2 folders; "Crash Report" and "Profiles" and 2 files: profiles.ini and registry.dat. I copied and pasted them in to the corresponding folders on my new Windows 7 machine. I then opened Thunderbird and watched as my files were overwritten with new default ones!!!!! So my backup is LOST!!!

Fortunately [I guess] I have a backup from January. My question is this: How do I use it? I want to be sure that this backup is not lost.

P.S. I wish I heard of MozBackup before this =p

Thanks, Adam

Mozbackup would have been one way to do it.

I copied and pasted them in to the corresponding folders on my new Windows 7 machine.

So that means you still have the original profile on the XP machine?

I don't understand what you mean with 'watched as my files were overwritten'.
