Server Migration - Data Only DR Procedure

[JVal33]

Good morning -

I'll be performing this data only DR server migration during maintenance tonight, and I just wanted to verify one thing.  When performing this, are there any settings/policies/configuration that get reset to default that I will need to update once I have finished the procedure, or is everything stored within the SQL db?  If I recall, I thought that a lot of that resides in the registry, which isn't restored in this procedure, so I wasn't sure if any archiving settings/policies get reset to default.  As always, any help/insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
JV

What version of EV are you using?

In earlier versions there were some reg keys and config files needed to make it a seamless move but the newer versions store all data in the database so the move is easier

JV,
We just completed several DR migrations ov EV8 SP1 to new hardware. followed this guide and worked like a charm. be sure to run the deployment scanner on the new server and go through the whole list to make sure everything is kosher.

Excellent, thanks guys.  Version is 8.0 SP2 so should all be in the DB, which is great.

Yep you should be good. I have done the process a few times and always has been flawless
