When you create a DataFinder or Data Preprocessor instance, you can store the index on a Microsoft SQL server instead of in
the standard database. To move such an instance to another computer, you must save the instance in
Migration mode and restore it to the target computer.
-
In
Data Indexing or
Data Preparation, open the instance overview.
-
Select the instance which you want to move to a different computer and click if the server is running.
-
Select
. You can only back up instances with their index if the index size is smaller than 50 GB.
-
Select the
Migration
Mode.
-
Select the folder to which you want to save the backup file and click
OK. Use a UNC path to specify the folder. An example
for a UNC path is \\Server\MyFolder.
-
Copy the backup file to the computer to which you want to move the DataFinder or Data Preprocessor instance.
-
In
Data Indexing or
Data Preparation, select an instance.
-
Click
and select the backup file. Backup files have the following extensions:
-
Data Preprocessor:
.bakdpp
-
Specify a name for the new DataFinder or Data Preprocessor instance and click
OK.

Note
After restoring an instance on the target computer, you can no longer use the original instance.
