I have a logbook with data in it that I need  to  rename  and preserve the the existing data (old book) in the newly named book (i.e. can I move all of the data from one book to a new book and than delete the data from the original book)?

As always thank you for your time.

There are two ways:

1) Create a new logbook, add the "Copy to" command to the old logbook. Select all entries and copy them to the new logbook, and delete the old one.

2) Change the logbook name in elogd.cfg, by manually editing the file, then rename the subdirectory in your file system from the old to the new name, then restart elogd.

The second solution is much simpler, but you have to manipulate files and directories yourself.

Whatever you do, make sure to back up you files before any operation.
