Seems to me that a materialist who believes consciousness emerges from structure is stuck believing that consciousness is not tied to only one specific hardware.

Then how is the consciousness "transmitted" from one hardware to the other? Is it like dumping all of my computer's data onto CD and then reading it into a new computer?
