I've two test Continua Server.

&nbsp;

Whats the most easy way to transport all configs from one server to another?

&nbsp;

Is there an import / export function ?

would I have to exchange the sql db ?

&nbsp;

Whats the recommended way?

We don’t have a formal transfer process documented, but almost everything is stored in the database, so it’s a case of backing up the database, and the Continua.Server.Service.exe.config file (which has the connection string for the db) and restoring it on the second machine, and then adjusting the config file on the new machine. The backup process is documented here :

 Our plan is to build backup/restore into the product in a future version.
