Frequently asked questions
How do I move an Alfa library?
Copy the Alfa database plus your ebook folders to matching paths. The index references books by location. Reopen once to confirm counts.
Books missing after moving. Why?
Check the library folders inside the app settings first. Moved books break index links. Repoint the library root after restoring.
