Moving Poker Copilot to a new Mac

You can manually backup and restore your Poker Copilot database as follows:

Important note: We will move the Poker Copilot database so it doesn’t need to be built again. However, it is highly recommended that you move all of your hand history files too. If there is a problem with your local database in the future, Poker Copilot will rebuild it by parsing all the hand history files anew. It is always a good idea to keep a backup of all your hand history files so you don’t run the risk of losing your data.

Exporting data on your old Mac

1. Make sure Poker Copilot is not running
2. In Finder, from the Go menu, select “Go to Folder…”
3. In the window that opens, copy and paste the following:
~/Library/Application Support/com.barbarysoftware.pokercopilot/
and press enter
4. You should now see a new window open in Finder that shows Poker Copilot’s internal settings
5. The “database” folder you see here is the folder you need to copy somewhere safe. Copy it to an external hard drive, or a USB stick.

Exporting settings on your old Mac

1) On your old Mac, run Poker Copilot and go to “Preferences > General”
2) Click on “Export preferences” and save that json file to your backup medium

Importing data to your new Mac

2) Click on “Import preferences”, find the json file on your backup medium and double click it
