Migrating Flussonic Watcher to a new server
To migrate to a new server, follow these steps:
- Update your existing server with Flussonic Watcher to the latest release.
- Install Flussonic Watcher on the new server in a usual way.
- Prepare an empty database
-
Copy and transfer the files
/etc/flussonic/flussonic.conf
and/etc/flussonic/license.txt
to the new server. -
On the old server, back up the database by using our built-in tool:
/opt/flussonic/contrib/watcher backup create
1. The tool will create a file similar to the following one:/var/lib/flussonic/watcher-backups/20190215201434-b62d21842ab7-WatcherBackup.gz
1. Transfer this .gz file to the new server. -
Restore the data from this file:
/opt/flussonic/contrib/watcher backup restore -d 20190215201434
1. Restart the service:service flussonic restart
