 Your current TapeTrack installation, or the server you are migrating from, will be referred to as the old installation and the new TapeTrack installation, or the server you are migrating to, will be referred to as the new installation.
+====== Preserving The Server Setup ======
+It is best practice to create a complete copy of the TapeTrack installation at the start of the migration process to preserve any data, scripts and relevant files that may be overlooked in the migration.  This is especially important if the old server is going to be decommissioned before all processes and functions have been confirmed working and active on the new server.
+Ensure if you have the installation split over multiple drives that all folders are backed up.
 ===== Installing TapeTrack Server =====
-Download the TapeTrack Server executable for your new system [[http://mirror-us.tapetrack.com/Windows-x64/server/setup.exe|Windows x64 Server]] and install TapeTrack Framework Server, Server Utilities and TapeMaster if required.

-If your old system has the directories:
-  * C:\Program Files\TapeTrack\TapeTrack Sync - download and install [[http://mirror-us.tapetrack.com/Windows-x64/sync/setup.exe|TapeTrack Sync]]
-  * C:\Program Files\TapeTrack\TapeTrack SecureSync - [[http://mirror-us.tapetrack.com/Windows-x64/securesync/setup.exe|TapeTrack Secure Sync]]

 ===== Update Desktop Connections =====
-If you are using a different IP or DNS address for the desktop to server connections, update the connection details for each installation of TapeMaster, Lite or Checkpoint.
+When the new server is running and considered the active server, you will need to update or add the new server address if you are using a different IP or DNS address for the desktop to server connections from the old server.
-When the original Server is decommissioned you can remove that connection from each installation of TapeMaster, Lite or Checkpoint to remove any confusion in connecting to the correct database.

 ===== Import Scripts =====
 If you have any Scripts running on the original server, they will need to be copied over to the new server installation following the same directory structure.
+Scripts for reports may be located in the Server Utilities Scripts folder (C:\Program Files\TapeTrack\TapeTrack Server Utilities\Scripts) or any other location based on your individual installation setup.
+If the reports are generated automatically, checking the Windows scheduler for scheduled scripts will give you the location of the scripts that will need to be copied from the old server to the new one.
