Hello. For years I used SyncBackFree on my computer to carry out backups. I had several profiles saved in SyncBackFree which I would run once a month. This past weekend I made the mistake of re-installing Windows without first making sure I knew how to restore the SyncBack profiles after re-installing. Before re-installing Windows, all I did was make a backup of the entire hard drive. Now I have re-installed Window and SyncBackFree, and would like to restore the profiles. Is there any way to do that, given that I still have all the files from my previous SyncBackFree installation, namely the files in ~\AppData\Local\2BrightSparks\SyncBackFree? In that folder, all file names appear to be related to my previous profiles, and they primarily have extensions of `.db` and `.ini` (screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/E3Wpxiu.png).
Thanks in advance.

Can I restore profiles using the .db and .ini files from a previous installation?

You should be able to close SyncbackFree and then copy your backup profiles to ~\AppData\Local\2BrightSparks\SyncBackFree and restart SyncbackFree.

OK lovely, that worked. But <facepalm>--I'm not sure why I didn't just try that 
Anyway, thanks again.
