[Papyrus-L] Keywords

[Dave Goldman]

Horace --

It's not necessarily reliable to pick and choose which of the .BB 
backup files you need to move. A complete set is generated whenever 
you perform a Create Backup File operation, and you really should 
move every single .BB file to the other machine before performing a 
Restore from Backup Files.

It would probably be simpler to just copy all 7 or 8 of your .BIB 
files back and forth between machines. Unless they're too big to fit 
on whatever media you have available to you for the move.
