Copy a Project

In most cases, a SonarWiz Project is self-contained. It is safe to move or copy a SonarWiz Project Folder from one computer or drive to another so long as the internal structure remains unmodified. In particular, sonar files, contacts and features are all stored within the project folder structure automatically and should transfer locations without problems.

In some cases, a project may utilize data sources external to the project folder structure. If you attempt to open a project that links to an external data source and this source is no longer available to SonarWiz, you will see a warning dialog similar to this:

SonarWiz will skip this resource and continue loading the project. The best way to ensure that all charts and base maps are kept with the project is to copy them into the SonarWiz Project folder directly before loading them into SonarWiz. Then, if the project is moved or archived, the resources are kept with the sonar data.
