When I swapped computers my channels folder was created and for whatever reason the folder name ended up being:
/Downloads/interviewreminderwednesdaydecember21stat400
Can I just go in my imac and change the name of the folder and all my recordings and settings will remain the same?
When you move Channels DVR Server from one computer to another
I tells you to
Migrate your data
- Find your data directory and move it to the new computer or NAS. This is the directory listed next to the Enable Server checkbox from the previous step.
You then choose that directory you moved it to on the new computer as your new data directory.
As far as I know macOS doesn't have a /Downloads directory (mine doesn't).
It does have one under each user ~/Downloads. i.e. /Users/yourusername/Downloads
If that's where you moved it to, just use Finder to rename the folder and then restore from your Channels DVR backup and select the folder you renamed as your new data directory.
