NT8 Backup Restore - Custom Instruments Data & Definition Missing

[garfielalvin]

1. Created backup with NT8.0.15.1 with custom instruments (index and future) historical data and definition, chart template, custom indicators and workspace.

2. Import the backup to another PC with new NT8.0.15.1 installation
a. Custom instruments historical data and definition is missing
b. Custom chart template, custom indicators and workspace imported successfully

Please advice on how to get the custom instruments backup and import correctly?

It was raised in earlier version of NT8

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Glad to assist. On the first PC, are there errors on the Log tab of the Control Center? If so, what do these errors report? Please test creating a backup (Tools > Export > Backup file...) to verify if any errors are reported. Also ensure the "Database files" and "Historical" chart data" options are checked when exporting the backup.

We look forward to assisting further.

Hi EricB

Thank you for reply.

No error for export backup (refer to sceenshot)
Config files, Historical data, Ninjascripts, Templates & workspaces were selected
Non custom instruments data , workspaces , custom scripts and chart templates are restored successfully.

Please advice, thank you.

Thank you for your reply.

Sorry to hear that didn't help. Testing the issue on my end, the historical data and the custom instruments and definitions are being re-imported successfully.
