Stop the BEWS services on both the old and new computer
Copy the *.U01 files to the new server
Delete BETOPCAT.IDX in the catalogs directory on the new server
Restart BEWS services

Ken,

It worked. It took about 10 minutes before the services would start due to
the amount of catalogs I have (4.6GB).
Thanks,
Joe
