moving databases

[Sigfrid]

I have an other question about upgrading FM6 databases to FM9.
Right now the dbs are on a old server and when I will upgrade them to
FM9 I would like to move them to an other server (where I will install
FMS9A).
Is it enough, once upgraded, to move them in the new server?

Thanks and have a nice day!

Although you can simply copy the files to the appropriate folder on  
the new server, you will then have to fix/check permissions manually.

The Filemaker Server admin console has a special function (Upload  
Database) for moving the database files and setting them up  
correctly. I'd suggest using that. So what you'd do is copy the files  
to some arbitrary location on the server (the desktop perhaps), then  
choose them when the Upload Database function asks you to locate the  
files to upload. They will be copied to exactly the right location  
with exactly the right permissions. In theory.

Please check into migrating from fm6 to fm7-8-9 here:

This can range from simple to a complex task
