I just replaced my Surface Pro with another.  What do i need to do to copy my entire library with markings/annotations/tempos etc.?

To transfer your library, the simplest way to handle this is to create a library backup file on your old tablet, transfer that to your new tablet and then restore your library using it. To do this, open MobileSheetsPro on your old tablet, tap the three dots at the top right and then tap Settings->Backup and Restore->Backup Library. This will generate a .msb file in the folder you select which can be on the device or in the cloud. If you selected a local folder, transfer the file from that folder to the other tablet. Open MobileSheetsPro on the new tablet, then go to Settings->Backup and Restore->Restore Library from Backup. After the restore completes, you will have access to your entire library on that device.

Hi,

The backup file from the old tablet should be transferred to the new tablet... got it. But to where? Anywhere? And does this make a difference to where MS will store the data when I run the Restore command on the new tablet?

[Sorry, I see that this is in the Windows forum. My question actually refers to Android tablets (Samsung).]

Many thanks,

Kevin

No problem - I've moved the thread to the Android subforum. As far as your question, it doesn't matter where you store the backup file. When you restore the backup file, all of the song files are extracted from it and placed in the storage location specified in MobileSheets under Settings->Storage->Set the MobileSheets Storage Location.

Many thanks, the changeover to the new tablet (despite 600+ entries) took what felt like only seconds and worked like a charm!
