Published on July 27, 2009 in Sendblaster and Tips & tricks. 0 Comments Tags: back up, Sendblaster.

Let’s say you need to format your hard disk or move all of your data to a different computer.
How to save all the SendBlaster data including the mailers sent and mailing lists?

Here we explain in simple terms how to make it.
