Transfer Cumulus Data to New Computer?

I apologize for asking a question that I'm sure has been covered but I seem to be Search Engine Challenged. I would like to transfer my Cumulus program/data from one computer to another. With the help of VirtualVP and a network, I am running Cumulus on both the old and the new computer at the present but I want to transfer existing data to the new/future weather site. Please advise the best way to make this transfer.
TIA
George

Just copying the contents of the data folder should do it. For a new installation you might also want to copy your settings - i.e. the cumulus.ini file, but as you're already running on the other machine you shouldn't need that.

Well, there
is an FAQ about backing up data, and logically, transferring data to another computer is the same thing; but I'll re-word the FAQ to make this clearer.
