After you have prepared both servers for the move, follow these steps to copy the server files from the source Data Archive server to the target Data Archive server:

  1. Copy files from backupdir to the new Data Archive directories:

    Note: Do not copy the archive files at this time; you will do this in a subsequent step.

    1. Use xcopy to copy files from backupdir\dat to %PISERVER%\dat.

    2. Copy all files from backupdir\log to %PISERVER%\log.

    3. Copy all files from backupdir\bin to %PISERVER%\bin.

    4. Copy all files from backupdir\adm to %PISERVER%\adm.

    5. Before starting the server on the new system, remove the old pilicense.dat file to prevent conflicts with licensing information.

      Note: Do not copy executable files with extension .exe. If you followed the backup procedure from a previous step, then backupdir\bin will not contain any .exe files.
