10 Back up data on the new server
You must take a backup of the data on the new server. The backup will be used later for importing registry values.
1. Rename the existing Backup folder at the following location to Old_Server_Backup.
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Sophos\ManagementServer\Backup
2. Open a command prompt at the Enterprise Console installation directory.
Windows version
32-bit
64-bit
Default location
C:\Program Files\Sophos\Enterprise Console
C:\Program files (x86)\Sophos\Enterprise Console
3. Type the following command to back up the database:
DataBackupRestore.exe -Action=backup
A confirmation message is displayed and a Backup folder is created with a Database subfolder, registry keys, and Secure Store information in the following location:
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Sophos\ManagementServer\
4. Rename the new Backup folder that has been created to New_Server_Backup.
5. Now rename the Old_Server_Backup folder to Backup.
6. Stop the Sophos Management Service. To do this: a) Open a command prompt window.
b) Type the following command: net stop "Sophos Management Service"
You have finished taking backup of data on the new server.
