My laptop died which is where I run Beersmith. I did a backup right before it died. So, I installed Beersmith on my desktop. I understand the files are located in C:/Program File/Beersmith. Both PCs were running Windows XP. I look on my backup drive and I don't see any files called Recipe.bsm in this location. I don't see my water profile either.

Where are these files located? I'm starting to panic. Years of recipes gone! POOF! :eek:
 
Just click Start Menu > Search and enter *.bsm - it'll locate all BeerSmith files on your system. Be sure to check other hard drives or external drives if it doesn't come up on C:. If you still get no results, then it's probably time to give up and try to rewrite it from memory.
 
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, the file wasn't there. I'm not sure why my backup software (Freebyte) didn't copy it.
