I been trying out reviewboard for about 6 weeks, and it's working pretty well (only real issue is I haven't been able to get e-mails working properly). Now I've got a new better server to install it on. I'd like to copy the existing review and users from the existing database before I move it -- about 60 users and 135 review requests. I'm using pgsql, apache, and currently version 1.7.7.1. I don't see anything on http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/1.7/admin/ on how to do this, but I see there have been a few questions about it in this group. It looks like some of the problems have been moving to a different database (eg: mysql to pgsql) or a different version of RB, so to keep things easy, I'll keep the same pgsql, apache, OS, and RB instance (by upgrading just before exporting?). I'm thinking I should probably: - Send users a outage notice - Stop apache - Upgrade to the latest 1.7 version - Export the database - Install on a new server - Import the database - Send users a notice about the new server. Maybe also put a redirect on the old server, pointing to the new one. I'm not sure in particular about how to do the db export/import. I see some people here used "rb-site manage /var/oldRbPath dumpdb > dumpdb.json" , then copy that file over and do "rb-site manage /var/newRbPath loaddb dumpdb.json". Is that the best way? Or is it better to use psql commands to dump the database?
