This guide describes how to move an existing InsightCM server’s data and configurations to a new server machine. These steps only apply to InsightCM 3.0 and later versions.
There are two options when moving to a new server: move InsightCM to a new server and remain on the same InsightCM version or move InsightCM to a new server and upgrade InsightCM to a newer version. Steps for both options are given below. In the instructions, Server 1 is the existing InsightCM server, and Server 2 is the new InsightCM server. This guide uses default directory locations, which should be updated to the actual installed directory locations on the existing server.
Before moving InsightCM to a new server machine, see The Data Storage Directory in InsightCM to review the Data Directory structure of the InsightCM server application. If upgrading versions, see InsightCM Upgrade Process.
