SneakerNet Synchronization

To synchronize one or more databases between two computers that are not networked using a floppy disk or some other removable medium, follow these steps:

1. From Zoot's main menu, choose Tools | Synchronize | SneakerNet Sync. Zoot displays a list of databases. Place a checkmark next to the databases you wish to synchronize and click OK.

2. Zoot asks you to specify a name for the synchronization update file. The default name is EZ.ZIP. Zoot also asks you to specify a location for the synchronization update file. Typically this will be the floppy disk drive. Click OK to proceed.

Zoot creates the synchronization update file and asks if you want to view it. If you answer Yes, Zoot opens Windows Explorer and locates the file for you.

The synchronization update file (EZ.ZIP) contains all of the data needed to update your databases on the remote computer. When you arrive at the remote location, follow these steps to complete the synchronization process:

1. Start Zoot if necessary.

2. Drag the synchronization update file (EZ.ZIP) and drop it onto the Zoot Desktop (main application window). Zoot will automatically detect the file and initiate the synchronization process.
