FSA server migration

We are preparing a migration of a fileserver to a new fileserver.
The current fileserver is running on Windows 2008, the new will be on 2008R2.

There are currently some shares being archived with EV (FSA).
What are the migration steps to migrate this to the new server?

Is it just as easy to install the FSA agent on the new one, and after removing the old volumes and folders and adding the new ones ?
All the shares/folders will be the same and copied with robocopy to the new server.

EV server version is 10.1

refer the following documents

If the data size is small, the easiest way is to recall all the files and copy to the new server and then archive it again.

Thanks, the second link is what i am looking for.

Servername will be different, but I will not rename the server, it will be a new server (other OS version).

Will that be an issue ?

I dont think it would be an issue as far as you update relevant entries in the database.

Thanks, will migrate this weekend, so I will update this thread with the results.

I am a bit suprised that there is so less information about migrating a fileserver (and also sharepoint) to a new / other server.

I wonder if some people never update their server....
