Server Migration

The Server Migration page provides tools for performing backup and restore operations on your FME Server configuration. You can use the Backup tool to backup the current instance of FME Server 2014 or later. You can use the Restore tool to restore backed up FME Server 2014 or later configurations to the current FME Server 2014 or later instance.

For more information about FME Server backup and restore, see Upgrading FME Server.

To perform a backup:

  1. Under Backup, click Start Backup.
  2. When ready, your ServerConfigPackage.fsconfig file is downloaded to the default location on your machine.

To perform a restore:

  1. Under Restore, check or clear Overwrite Existing Items. If checked, items on the current instance are overwritten by items in the backed up configuration of the same name. If not checked, only items from the backed up configuration that do not exist on the current instance are imported; nothing is overwritten.
  2. click Select Server Backup File.
  3. Navigate to the ServerConfigPackage.fsconfig file that was created when you performed a backup.
  4. After selecting the ServerConfigPackage.fsconfig file, the restore operation begins. When complete, a message displays at the top of the page indicating the results.
