Hi CS, What version of Koha is running on the old server and what version is running on the new server?
I've relocated my data from a server running Koha 20 to one running Koha 21 without issue. Both servers were Debian 10. It is fairly simple using the koha-dump and koha-restore commands from the Linux terminal. You run koha-dump on the old server, copy the files created to the new server, and then run koha-restore on the new server. The koha-dump command creates a .tar file of the application config files and the database dump file. You can install Koha on the new server but instead of creating a new instance (like you would if you were installing a new library setup) you can use the koha-restore command to restore the previous Koha installation to the new server. A brief summary of the koha-dump and koha-restore commands can be found here: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Commands_provided_by_the_Debian_packages#koha-dump After the older install is restored to the new server (using koha-restore) you must edit the Apache config file used for the Koha instance to match the new server environment (assuming you're using Apache for the server). On my Debian server the site config file is located at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/instanceName.conf If it would help, I will look for my notes I made the last time I did this earlier this year. -Evan On Fri, Jul 1, 2022 at 9:28 AM C.S.
