System Migration
NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides you with the ability to migrate all your settings (including inventory, jobs, credentials, transporter settings, and so on) to a new instance (copy) of the product.
Important
System configuration export and import are designed for migration purposes only, and not to serve as a system configuration backup. After you have exported system configuration from an old instance of the product, do not run jobs in that old instance. Doing so will result in failed jobs in the new instance after the migration. All jobs will have to be recreated, and full initial job run will be required.
See the topics below for more information:
Exporting System Configuration
To export system configuration from the old deployment, follow the steps below:
-
Click Settings in the left pane of the product.
-
Select System Settings tab in the General section.
-
On the Configuration tab, click Export System Configuration.
-
In the dialog window that appears, click Export.
-
Click Proceed to confirm the operation.
Note
All activities in the old instance (such as jobs and recovery sessions) will be automatically stopped and all jobs will be disabled. -
Wait until the export is completed and download the export bundle.
-
Do not run jobs in the old instance.
