Using multiple computers

[sesplin]

Hi-
Most of my work is on my desktop with two screens. But I do travel and want to make sure I can get all my history and saved charts, etc that I have on my desktop on my laptop while I travel. Is there a way to upload and back up all my information to a central Ninjatrader server then download it all to my laptop?
Or do I have to transfer data using a thumb drive?

This brings up another question. What files should I backup to make sure my data is always stored?
Thanks

If you are looking to transfer your settings, data, templates, data, etc over to another PC, check out the following

In order to move your NinjaTrader settings from one PC to another, , you will want to create a backup on the 1st PC, transfer the backup file to the 2nd PC, & then run the NinjaTrader restore utility. Please see the following steps for completing this process:
