Hello,

A customer has BW2009 on a 12 year old PC running Win2KPro as server, WG product code. It has good data in sage\bwdata and program in sage\bwprog. It has 3 workstations (one Win7 and two XP) and all access BW and data flawlessly over the network. The problem is this: a 12 year old PC with a 15 year old O/S is like a ticking time bomb. The company has decided (wisely IMHO) to be proactive and buy 3 new PC's (all Win 7), buy BW2015 (also product code WG), install it on the existing Win 7 PC and install the client program on the other 2 new Win 7 PC's. I have created and shared sage\bwdata and sage\bwprog folders on the new server, all 3 new PC's run Sage BW2015 great over the network, no errors, but of course, no company data! I have backed up system and data files on the old BW2009 server and have both on a flash drive as .ZIP files, the format that it creates when you run the backup built into BW2009. I have 2 questions: 1) How do I convert this BW2009 data to operate with BW2015? 2) Once that is done, assuming it does need conversion, how do I get this converted or ready data and system backup into or 'restored' onto the new BW2015 server? I'm hoping it's a simple matter of copying the contents of one or more specific folders of the UNZIPPED system and data files from the backed up BW2009 into specific folders on the BW2015 server. That I can handle. I hope someone can help, as this trucking company has invested over $7k in software and PC's the last couple of weeks and so far has not obtained a return for their investment. Thanks in advance!
