Target 8 file question

[raylock1]

Does anyone know the name of the file that houses the HA configurations for each session? I would like to back up that file. Thanks

Pretty sure it’s just the Target software?

Thanks, but it’s got to be somewhere in the software. If I loose my computer (crashes) I can reinstall Target but don’t want to have to figure out the settings. There must be a file in the Target 8 Program settings or program data that contains that information. Hoping that someone will know the name of the file.

I would like to back up that file

In Target you can export the database for each customer.

• select/highlight the customer
• then click on “File” in the menu (Top/left)
• choose “export”
• type a name for your save file and choose an location where you want to save the exportet data.

Later the saved export can be imported again via: File → import

This procedure have to be done for each customer in the Target database.

See here, how to save the complete “Target Database Folder” for creating a backup of the complete Database with all customer entries

Moving to a new PC

I have had a look at what you want to do and I played around in Target v4.1.0.9913 with Windows 7 Professional 32/64bit. I think that there may be a couple of ways to do it (leaving aside other processes of direct transfer of data - computer to computer, that may be available). There is a lot of information so I will do separate posts. (Offered on all care/no responsibility basis). Option A Based on the information in Phonak’s Target 5 Booklet (Aug 2016) which states: “Client data backup …

The Target Database is saved in the folder “Data” located at:
C:\ProgramData\Phonak\Phonak Target\Phonak Target\Data

You need to copy/backup the folder “Data” with its content.

Note: Under Windows standard settings the folder “ProgramData” is hidden.
You need to change the Folder Options to show hidden system files and folders !
