Big thanks go out to the fellows at the PodNutz Podcast for the recommendation of Fab’s AutoBackup Pro as this has been one of the best investments I have made in automating my business in recent years. I was hesistant at its expansive claims to basically grab everything from every profile on an old computer or even removed hard drive and automatically put it into the associated new profiles on a target computer. The claims are all true and really have to be experienced to be believed, so don’t do this kind of thing manually anymore as Fab’s will take care of all the heavy lifting. It will move the following:

Fab moves Personal folders:
