Hello. I will be installing MemoQ on a new system so I need to reinstall MemoQ.

I need to preserve my locations, settings (all of them), regex, servers, etc.

I would appreciate your help.

It's also good to keep, as you'll always have a full local or cloud (or both) backup of your entire drive that can be restored in case of loss of or damage to your disk. It can also run ongoing backups so you'll never lose more than a couple ... See more
