You just have to replace the Patron Photo / Digital attachmet folder of your new or current installation with the backup ones. You can either delete the folder first and paste the backup folder or just merge the 2 folders and overwrite all those w/ the same name.

I think it would be very helpful if we create a checklist of those we would want to backup in NGL:

1. pgAdmin database backup file
2. If you have patron photos: Patron Photos folder (Normally at C:\NewGenLibFiles\PatronPhotos)
3. If you uploaded attachments in your catalogs: DigitalAttachments folder (location is in ENV_VAR.txt)
4. If you have customized OPAC home page + twitter widget (C:\NGL3\apache-tomcat-6.0.32\webapps\resources\portal\web_pages\LIB_1)
5. If you have customized MARCataloging templates: MarcDictionary folder (C:\NewGenLibFiles\MarcDictionary)
6. If you have customized letter/notice templates: FormLetterTemplates folder (C:\NewGenLibFiles\FormLetterTemplates\LIB_1)
7. If you have customized map of library's areas in OPAC: Maps folder (C:\NewGenLibFiles\Maps\LIB_1)

Other files:
1. General configuration: ENV_VAR.txt (in C:\NewGenLibFiles\SystemFiles)
2. Your mail-sending configuration: mail.properties (in C:\NewGenLibFiles\SystemFiles)
3. Twitter integration: twitter.properties (in C:\NewGenLibFiles\SystemFiles)

If other users know anything else worth backing up, please tell me so we can complete this checklist. Do tell me also if there are any corrections to the above. Thank you.
