| 62 Moving a Tracker | |
| 63 ================ | |
| 64 | |
| 65 If you're moving the tracker to a similar machine, you should: | |
| 66 | |
| 67 1. install Roundup on the new machine and test that it works there, | |
| 68 2. stop the existing tracker web and email frontends (preventing changes), | |
| 69 3. copy the tracker home directory over to the new machine, and | |
| 70 4. start the tracker web and email frontends on the new machine. | |
| 71 | |
| 72 Most of the backends are actually portable across platforms (ie. from Unix to | |
| 73 Windows to Mac). If this isn't the case (ie. the tracker doesn't work when | |
| 74 moved using the above steps) then you'll need to: | |
| 75 | |
| 76 1. install Roundup on the new machine and test that it works there, | |
| 77 2. stop the existing tracker web and email frontends (preventing changes), | |
| 78 3. use the roundup-admin tool "export" command to export the contents of | |
| 79 the existing tracker, | |
| 80 4. copy the export to the new machine, | |
| 81 5. use the roundup-admin "import" command to import the tracker on the new | |
| 82 machine, and | |
| 83 6. start the tracker web and email frontends on the new machine. | |
