In the manual section E7
The Installshield setup program deletes the data files of an existing installation when it installs an update and your personal settings will be lost. DataBackup allows you to first save your settings via mouse click and then to restore them after the installation of the update is finished. If you have a flawlessly working configuration you should also save the settings with DataBackup. That allows you to easily restore a working configuration if errors occur.

Noticing the advert in the Journal and seeing a couple of features that looks useful I downloaded and installed it.
Questions: It forced me to uninstall the old version before installing 12.8d. Once installed I had to reconfig everything local like station location, rotor and CAT interfaces, display and operational options...
Is that correct or did I miss something that would have made this easier?
