Moving Crypt-o Server

Index  Previous  Next


To move an existing Crypt-o Server to other computer follow these steps.

 

Make sure you can access Crypt-o using a user account with administrator privileges and the internal authentication method.
Uninstall Crypt-o on backup servers (if any).
Install Crypt-o Server on the new computer.
Stop the Crypt-o Server service on the new computer.
Stop the Crypt-o Server service on the old computer.
Copy contents of the Crypt-o data folder from the old computer to the new computer, replacing existing files.
Start the Crypt-o Server service on the new computer.
Log on to Crypt-o as an administrator, open Administrative tools, System options. Go to Tasks page, open each backup task and check if a backup folder is correct.
Change connection parameters for all Crypt-o Client installations to use the host name of the new computer. The Crypt-o Server fingerprint will be the same, since you have moved all configuration.
If needed, install and configure backup servers using the new Crypt-o Server as the primary server.
Make sure the new Crypt-o Server works properly.
Now you can permanently stop (or uninstall) Crypt-o Server on the old computer.
