Guide to Moving Newsbin Configuration

UsenetServer users transferring their setup to another machine can follow these steps:

1. Install the Application: Add Newsbin to your new computer and activate your license.

2. Copy Your Data Folder: Under Options > Setup, find and move the full data folder to the new device.

3. Transfer GUI Settings: The Guiitems.db3 file holds your window preferences and should be placed in C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\newsbin.

4. Copy the .NBI Config File: This file maintains your servers and group subscriptions. Double-click to initiate Newsbin with your saved preferences.

5. Changing the Newsbin Data Folder location:

   • Locate the current .NBI configuration file using the title bar or "Save Configuration As."

   • Use Options > Setup > "Open Data Folder" to find the current Data path.

   • Exit Newsbin.

   • Open the .NBI file in a text editor. Make a backup first.

   • Modify the DataPath under [Settings] to the desired location.

   • Move all related files to the updated folder.

   • Start Newsbin by double-clicking the .NBI file.

6. Start with Your Saved Setup: Newsbin remembers the .NBI file used on launch, so future sessions will use the same setup.

Note: Update existing queue items manually with "Download to Folder" if needed.
