The 4 Essential Steps

  1. Install TripLogik Manager on the New PC
    Begin by installing the TripLogik Manager software on your new computer.

  2. Download the Backup Utility
    Obtain the latest version of the TripLogik Backup Utility from the official website.

  3. Backup Data from the Old PC
    Run the Backup Utility on your old computer to save all application data, settings, and logs to your chosen storage device.

  4. Restore Data to the New PC
    Transfer the backup file to your new PC and use the Backup Utility to restore your data.



Step 1 – Install the TripLogik Manager Application

TripLogik Manager 2.0 is a standard Windows application and cannot simply be copied from one computer to another.
To get started, you must install the application on your new PC.

Instructions:

  1. Download the installer from the official Download page here 

  2. Install the Manager on your new PC

  3. Register the Manager using your existing user account

⚠️ Important: Do not create a new account.
Your account is linked to the email address and password you originally used.

  • If you’re unsure of the email, check the Users menu on your old PC.

  • If you forgot your password, click on “I forgot my password” in the login window.

Note:
If you cannot remember your login credentials, simply close the Manager for now and proceed to Step 2.

 


Step 2 – Download the Backup Utility

While it’s technically possible to copy the database manually, we recommend using the TripLogik Backup Utility. It ensures the data is correctly exported and restored to the appropriate locations.

Instructions:

  1. Download the Backup Utility from one of the following links:

  2. Copy the utility to a USB key, external drive, or shared location.
    This allows access to the same file from both your old and new computers.



NOTE
We suggest you copy the backup utility to the USB key ( or the media of your choice)
It will be easier to start or copy it from this location, as it will be available to both PC


Step 3 – Run the Backup Utility on the Old PC

Before continuing, ensure the Manager application is closed.

Instructions:

  1. Launch the TripLogik Backup Utility by double-clicking the .exe file you downloaded in Step 2.

  2. Click the “Backup” button

  3. Choose a destination folder (e.g., your USB key or external drive)

The utility will generate a backup file containing all your trip data and settings.

Step 4 – Run the Backup Utility on the New PC (Restore)

Again, make sure the Manager application is closed on your new PC.

Instructions:

  1. Launch the Backup Utility

  2. Click the “Restore” button

  3. Locate and select the backup file saved in Step 3 (from your USB key or chosen device)

This will restore all your previous trips, settings, and data to your new PC.







What If You No Longer Have the Old PC?


All trip data is stored in a local database file on your PC. This file can be backed up and restored using the utility.


If the original PC is no longer available, but you previously created a backup, you can still recover your data by restoring that file using the instructions in Step 4.

✅ Tip: Always keep a backup copy of your database file in a safe location.
