Stored Settings - Migrate
The Stored Settings dialog box displays the set of local user accounts, system settings, application settings and files that have been stored in the source settings backup. This dialog box enables you to change the local user accounts, system settings, application settings, and files being migrated. These changes apply only to the current migration, not to the source settings backup.
The assumption is the target machine is a different machine than the source machine, but you can use Migrate to restore settings to the same machine.
Users
Source User / Destination User - By default all local user accounts are selected for migration. Check all the local user accounts you want to migrate. Optionally change the name of each local user account on the target machine. All selected settings for these local user accounts will be restored on the target machine.
Add Destination Users - Add local user accounts on the target machine. Enter a username and password and confirm the password. All selected settings for these additional local user accounts will be created on the target machine.
System Settings
Check each system setting you want to restore on the target machine.
Application Settings
Check each application setting you want to restore on the target machine.
Files
Include or exclude files. Include or exclude directories. Include or exclude types of files by file extension. Exclusions override inclusions. For example: .doc .ppt .xls
