I installed SM 2016 on my new laptop. I backed up my data from my old laptop. How do I get the data to the new computer?

Copy the backup file to your new computer. Start Stamp Manage and then click on 'File' and then 'Restore'. Point it to the backup file you copied.

By default, Stamp Manage is looking for the mdb file in a certain directory. The backup function just zips up the file. You should be able to copy the mdb dfile into the folder that Stamp Manage expects to find the file.

In Windows world. it would be \My Documents\StampManage\Data\

If you added personal images, they are stored in a separate directory (folder).

Stamp Manage has a few videos on youtube on how to use Stamp Manage. They are usually fairly short.
