: Due to a bad experience with my hard drive I want to back-up and replicate my fund manager portfolio (rupert.mm4) on a second PC. The process I follow is this: file->backup->rupert.bck on to the removable disc. On the second PC I do: file->restore->rupert.bck. This captures all the individul investments, however it does not capture the portfolio structure, ie the sub-portfolios in master portfolio (Rupert.mm4).
: How do I backup the portfolio structure with their repestive investments ?

Hi Rupert,

You'll want to transfer both your portfolio (*.mm4) and investment (*.dat) files to the new PC. The backup feature doesn't backup the portfolio files, so I would suggest just using Windows Explorer to copy all these files to the removable disc, and then to your second PC. It is important to copy everything, and keep the same hierarchy. For example, if everything is in one folder on your current PC, make it that same way on the second PC.

Thanks,
Mark
