Migrating Flussonic Watcher to a new server

To migrate to a new server, follow these steps:

1. Update your existing server with Flussonic Watcher to the latest release.
2. Install Flussonic Watcher on the new server in a usual way.
3. Prepare an empty database

4. Copy and transfer the files /etc/flussonic/flussonic.conf and /etc/flussonic/license.txt to the new server.

5. On the old server, back up the database by using our built-in tool:

   /opt/flussonic/contrib/watcher backup create

6. The tool will create a file similar to the following one:

   /var/lib/flussonic/watcher-backups/20190215201434-b62d21842ab7-WatcherBackup.gz

7. Transfer this .gz file to the new server.

8. Restore the data from this file:

   /opt/flussonic/contrib/watcher backup restore -d 20190215201434

9. Restart the service:

   service flussonic restart
