Migrating instances to a new machine

I’ve moved to using AMP in a VM over its original home on a standalone server, and now I’d like to move my instances over from the old HD and I’m not seeing how I can do that. Is this even possible?

once you’ve installed amp on the new ‘system’ go to your old datastore location and copy the whole “Instances” folder over to the new datastore. restart amp and should work no problem

You can do that or you can create a backup of the instance and copy it over and restore it.

My problem is, it doesn’t give you the option to restore, even after the backup is transferred over to the new “back up” directory.

You treat it just as a normal zip file and extract it.
