For me it is the reason I sticked with the Bat because of the easy back-up and restore option when migrating an os.

That has never worked for me since I started using TB in 2015.

EDIT: However, I just tried it again and it seems like the backup went well.  Now to see how the restore goes.
That's Murphy's Law for ya....

EDIT #2: Annnnnd it worked! I'm genuinely shocked. It's the first time it ever worked for me.

Thanks for all the other suggestions. Good to have options.

If I remember correctly, I simply copied the contents of my old Mail folder  (as defined in Options | Preferences | General) to the Mail folder on the new PC.  Then I launched The Bat and all my accounts and folders were there. Could it be so simple?

>> This should also work with TB's backup archives created with Tools -> Backup...
I do prefer this native method

For my last laptop migration I cloned the whole drive using CloneZilla, worked like a charm. Kept the whole Windows installation with all programs and data, only needed to install some drivers for the new machine.

What I did on previous occasions was to back up the whole TB data folder (which I do regularly anyway), install TB on the new machine, run it, and for each account do Account -> New... -> Restore from..., and select the appropriate folders. This should also work with TB's backup archives created with Tools -> Backup...

What are the steps for moving TheBat! to a new laptop?
