Ok, that's what I did. I backed up a project locally with the Backup selected link. In the other computer I created a project with the same characteristics and imported that file I had backed up, and now in the dashboard I see this:
The name of the project I created in the second computer with a Review completed icon on the left and the progress column says 100%/100%.
Another project with the same name with has an icon of translation in progress on the left and the progress column says 57%/0%.
Why do I have two projects? Did I do something wrong? Maybe those are not the steps to follow to import the same project on a different computer.
Thanks again!

I don't think that is how it works. A project is a collection of files, resources and settings. So if you make a backup of a project, and restore from that backup, one of two things can happen:
a) if you have the same project in the other instance of MemoQ, you can choose to update
b) if you don't have the some project in the other instance of MemoQ, this project will be created there
It seems you have updated (option a). Logically, updating from a backup means that whatever you did on the second computer gets overwritten by the backup. That is what might have happened.
