Hi Stephen,
Thank you for the very detailed instructions.

Hi Benoit
The procedure should be similar to the upgrade procedure for a new version.
I would suggest you use the same version of Fedora on the new server. You will
need to ensure you use the same low-level storage configuration (ie akubra-fs
or legacy).
Set up and configure your new server with the same configuration as your old
server. If you have XACML enabled this should include any policies that you
have added.
Start and stop the new server.
Either copy in the object and datastream stores from your old installation to
the same location in your new installation (two folders under $FEDORA_HOME/data
- the exact names of these will depend on whether you are using Akubra or not);
or edit Fedora's configuration to point to the two stores from the old
location. For either case fedora.fcfg's configuration for the module
org.fcrepo.server.storage.lowlevel.ILowlevelStorage needs to have
object_store_base and datastream_store_base pointing to the object and
datastream stores.
Then (with Fedora stopped) use the rebuilder to (1) rebuild the SQL database
and (2) rebuild the resource index, and, if you are using FeSL (3) rebuild the
policy index.
(note that this part is not always included in the instructions for a version
upgrade as it is often possible to re-use the SQL database from the old
installation).
In theory it should always be possible to rebuild Fedora from scratch by just
using the object and datastream stores providing the same underlying low-level
storage configuration is used.
Regards
Steve

Subject: [fcrepo-user] Migrate Fedora to another server
Hi everyone,
I have been using the Fedora repository for a few months on a research project.
Now my boss wants to migrate our Fedora instance on another server and asked me
to look into how it can be done. I have found migration guides that explain how
to migrate between versions of fedora, but not how to transfer the data between
two instances of fedora.
