Transferring your dats from one beaker to another

WARNING 1. If you do this, it MUST be either a transfer or a backup. Don't do this to run your Dats from two different computers. The Dat protocol doesn't support multiple computers running a Dat at the same time (yet) and you WILL corrupt your data.

WARNING 2. This will nuke the data in your new install.

WARNING 3. I havent actually tried this. Good luck!

If you're using Beaker 0.7.x, you'll need to copy part of your Beaker app data, and then your library folder (~/Sites).

  • The library folder (~/Sites) should be easy. Just copy the files.
  • To find the Beaker app data, check your settings page inside Beaker. For me, it was /Users/paulfrazee/Library/Application Support/Beaker Browser.
  • Copy that whole folder into the new computer, at the location specified in its settings page.
  • You should be in business.

LMK if you have problems.
