Hi Folks, We recently got a new hardware for a reviewboard server which needs to be brought up after migrating the data from the old server which was running a pretty old version of Review Board (1.0) We have currently installed the latest version of Review Board(1.7.5), I was going through the mail archives and found the following steps to do the data migration, can someone who has done this in the past please confirm if this actually works, it would be of great help: 1. On the old server, dump your site data. sudo rb-site manage /path/to/site dumpdata > /path/to/backup/rbdump.json
2. Open the dump file in a text editor and find all the entries whose "model" is "contenttypes.contenttype" or "scmtools.tool", and delete those entries. 3. On the new server, create a new site following the directions on the ReviewBoard site. Note that you don't have to use the same database type as your old server (my old server used MySQL, my new server uses PostgreSQL). 4. On the new server, load the old site data. sudo rb-site manage /path/to/site loaddata /path/to/backup/rbdump.json 5. (Optional) For good measure, reboot your new server.
