my use case is:
- planning to migrate to new PC
- backup
- restore
And so, dates are irrelevant -- all I need is backup and restore a day (or a few days later).
I think that method is not as easy as it could be and is fraught with dangers.

Picking up Helen’s point, I see the main use cases as copy/transfer to a new or replacement PC (occasional), and copying FH settings to somewhere that I backup regularly (frequent). I have relatively few apps, so only backup the full box occasionally and mostly rely on backing up the usual data folders.
Code: Select all
:: Copy this CMD Batch file into the folder holding the data to be restored.

echo Please close FH
