Backup SyncCenter Vault on your PC
On your PC there are two directories in the SyncCenter Vault:
1. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Vecal\VCOrganizer\vault\external
This is where the files are stored in SyncCenter. If you backup your Outlook data and restore to other PC, you also need to copy this folder (including all the files and subfolders in this directory) to your new PC. Depend on the username of your new PC, on your new PC, please use the <username> of your new PC, instead of the <username> of the old PC.
For example:
If the username of old PC is "Peter" and the username of your new PC is "PeterPon"
Copy the folder C:\Users\peter\AppData\Local\Vecal\VCOrganizer\vault\external from your old PC to the C:\Users\PeterPon\AppData\Local\Vecal\VCOrganizer\vault\external on your new PC
2. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Vecal\VCOrganizer\vault\,outlook
This is the folder to cache the Outlook attachments. There is NO NEED to backup this folder. Also, there is no need to migrate the content in this folder to your new PC. The cache will be re-created when you sync your new PC with VCOrganizer.
