Restoring back up

Hi all

Need some help please!

I have backed up my whole directory structure inc all hidden folders and files (i believe)

Having been sent a replacement reader, - still a Libra2 I am trying to 'mirror' my old one onto the new one.

I copied back over all the data, and the collections I have are showing, but they are empty!

Does anyone have any ideas about what else I need to do to get a complete mirror of the old reader?

Thanks
David

You need to reboot. Hold the power button for 30 seconds or so.

If things are still not working correctly after the reboot, copy everything back and reboot right away after to copy.

Hi JSWolf

So, should I wipe the new device again, and the copy it all over fresh, reboot and wait for it to import all the content again?
Should this copy across all the collections and partial read books exactly as per my other reader?

Thanks
David

Reeboot now and if it's not correct, then copy over and reboot right away. I don't know what happens if you copy from one device to another and then try to use it without a reboot.
