Problem Description

Issue

I am wanting to upgrade my server pc hardware, and that would require reinstalling the OS, how do I transfer or back up all my servers on my current machine and transfer them to a new one. What are issues I could run into or things to be aware of.

Reproduction Steps

  • This isn’t a step issue
  • I want to transfer my servers/instances
  • to a new pc/hard drive, I would be going from ubuntu to ubuntu

People have been asking for a backup/restore guide for some time but I think since it varies a bit from game to game, no one ever took it on.

There are several mini-summaries here: Restore backup on new server - #15 by Daniel_Ertl

Otherwise, I would search the forums for any games you have installed. Also, I wouldn’t wipe the old system until you verify the new copies are complete/working on the new system.
