My workstation that Spiceworks was installed on has burned out cpu & motherboard. I need to install Spiceworks from scratch to monitor the server & network. Currently installed on the machine now sending this msg.

Do you have a backup of the Spiceworks data from the dead machine or access to the hard drive? If so follow steps 3-5 of this guide to get everything restored. http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/295
No, I am a dill at not backing up a copy to my server drive - never enough time for anything?? I need to get it to work from scratch (installed spiceworks again) on this current workstation to look after the school, while burnt out workstation is being revamped at a PC shop.
My email is ithelpdesk@sathyasai.nsw.edu.au for spiceworks.
Perhaps if I fill out the “create account” fields again with the current remembered details then it will accept them again?
Have access to the old hdd? If so, slave it and pull data from it?
OK, I am at error never having instigated a backup. This being so, would spiceworks have done a default backup at a default location on my workstation HD, and if so where?
I could rescue the drive from the shop where the repairs will be made, and get data from it?
Thanx for the reply.
it’s possible. I think I found backups setup by default on mine, even if not, I think you can transfer over the data file and be good to go.
One of the first times I moved Spiceworks to a new PC, I first installed Spiceworks, then copied the c:\program files\spiceworks folder on top of the spiceworks folder I had just installed. Worked like a charm. You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain by trying.
Technically you just need the Data and DB folder from your original Spiceworks install to move all the data. If you can get those folders copied you will be fine.

Thank you for the info. I will retrieve from the HD.
cheers,
Bruce.
I am going with the portal, which I was able to get working after trying 3 different urls.
It works well.
