Fabs and windows easy transfer

[nesrinamb]

Ok so first a quick story.

I was doing a win xp to win 7 switch over and everyone was getting new laptops. A friend said they really liked windows easy transfer so I gave that program a shot. It was okay except their where some issues and one did not work so I had to redo the transfer of info.

One thing I liked a lot was that it did have the option for a transfer of info over the network to the new machine so I just started all the machines ran the program and started the transfers. Gotta say it was really nice being able to do a machine in like ten min.

My question is has anyone been able to do this with fabs and if not is it a possible feature that can be added to fabs?

It would be awesome if we could have fabs run on both computers and just do a quick transfer over the network from one pc to another.

The new Fabs 5 now in beta test (I'm one of the beta testers) will do a transfer. Just used it to transfer the data from a dead PC's slaved HD directly to the new PC. (With Fabs 4, you have to do a backup and then a restore.)

Don't know when Fabs 5 will be released, there are still some outstanding items.

I had no idea fabs 5 was in beta but definitely cant wait to see it.

Ooo any more details about beta 5? I'd be keen to get hands on!

Don't know if Fabs is taking on new beta testers. Maybe send him an email and ask? (His email address is on his website.)

Had one a while back just knock off half way through every single time.

I like fabs because of the simplicity of the program and efficiency but their are some nice neat features i wish where implemented.

Have you told Fabs about the desired features? He's very receptive, plus he's working on a new version.
