Migrating Netsight from one server to another

[Jason2]

Hi

I need to migrate my Netsight server from a Windows 2003 server to a Windows 2008 server. What are the steps to go about this?

I think I have an idea how to do this but wanted to get the steps clarified.

Thanks

Thanks Ron, I will firstly upgrade my net sight to 6 then restore the database on a new install of the same level

You should never restore a DB with a different version = don't import a 4.0 backup into a 6.x installation.

Thanks for your answers I shall be doing this on friday! As I am upgrading my netsight as well from version 4.0.0.9.3 to the latest will I need to do this upgrade before migrating the database or can I simply restore the database onto a clean install version 6.*.* ?

The DB backup doesn't include all the Netsight Suite data.

Here some more files that need to be saved/restored....

This list isn't complete as Extreme Networks wasn't able to deliver a full list that describe the whole backup/restore process of the Netsight Suite.
