I am relatively new to MC and trying to replicate my current setup on another machine.
I backed up the three database files, and all of my workspaces, then installed a clean copy of MC on the new machine, then copied the three database files (.GDB files) and copied them to the Databases folder on the new machine, and copied my workspaces and brought them over as well.
What I don't seem to have are any of the symbols or my custom exchanges (most of my symbols were indices I loaded manually for IQFeed). I looked in my quote manager and it only seemed to have the default symbols. Is there another file I need to be bringing over to get my symbols?
Thanks for your help.

I have actually tried it both ways (first time I tried the whole Databases directory, second time just the three files). i started with a fresh install each time. Do I need to do anything between the install and copying over the files, like run Multicharts on the new machine to initialize it or anything like that?

...not just the database directory, but the whole TS Support directory.
