[BaseCamp] moving to a new computer

[Eric Bray]

If you do a Backup on the old computer, then follow it up with a Restore on
the new computer, then Importing isn't necessary as the Restore process
completely replaces the "My Collection" with the backup.

I don't think that the backup/restore process will bring your maps over
however.  Any time I move maps between computers, I use a Shareware program
called JaVaWa GMTK.  The program needs to be on both computers and you can
do a backup & restore of maps.  There may be other ways...
