move to other machine

When I wanted to migrate my site to another machine, how would I keep the same address (dat: // ...)

Hi Juliano,

We're actively working on the solution to this; it's part of a protocol update called "Multiwriter."

At the moment, you can migrate the data manually. However! You should be certain to move the data, not copy it. Delete the data from the old machine. If you don't, your dat sites will stop working.

The process is:

1. Make sure you are using the latest version of Beaker (currently 0.8.0-prerelease.3)
2. Go to the settings page, under information and help. (beaker://settings/#information). Find where the "User data" is stored. (On my device, it's "/Users/paulfrazee/Library/Application Support/Beaker Browser")
3. Close Beaker on the source device
4. Open Beaker on the target device. As with step 2, find the path for the data directory.
5. Close Beaker on the target device.
6. Move (not copy) that folder from the source device to the target device. You will need to overwrite all data.

Sorry that this is not a great solution, but it's the only thing that works right now. Multiwriter should be deployed in Beaker no later than this Summer.

It may not be a very refined solution, but it will work. I appreciate your  attention!
