what to grab from the old server

Post by skyking »

I have an old (1.22.3-9) server with a ton of cams on it, lots of configs that I'd like to move and not replicate. The capture card seems OK but the drives are tired and old, the motherboard and other parts are a little shaky. Is there any practical way to keep the configs, or have things changed too much?
Any suggestions?

I recommend you to install PHPMyadmin and make a backup of your configuration (not events, images or frames, as they could be very 'heavy'). The application comes with upgrades for the databases, but I do not know waht steps you should make to upgrade them, have a look to the updateDB files.

Hope it helps,

Thank you Paco. I have used phpmyadmin to fix crashed DB tables in the past.
