&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;From http://www.eprints.org/tech.php/thread-1666.html&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Migration of archives from one server to another is relatively simple.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What you will need to copy.... (for archive &amp;quot;xxxx&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
/opt/eprints2/archives/xxxx.xml&lt;br /&gt;
(this is your basic config. for the archive, such as it&amp;#039;s id, url and &lt;br /&gt;
database)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
/opt/eprints2/archives/xxxx/documents/&lt;br /&gt;
This is where all the actual pdf&amp;#039;s etc are stored. Be careful, if you &lt;br /&gt;
used any symlinks, to copy the files and not just the symlink. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
/opt/eprints2/archives/xxxx/cfg/&lt;br /&gt;
This is the rest of the archive configuration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
plus the SQL database which can be exported from mysql by doing&lt;br /&gt;
mysqldump xxxx -u xxxx -p &amp;gt; backup.sql&lt;br /&gt;
(or whatever mysql user is appropriate if not xxxx)&lt;br /&gt;
You will be prompted for the password.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you can&amp;#039;t remeber the name of your database or the user &amp;amp; pass look &lt;br /&gt;
in /opt/eprints2/archives/xxxx.xml&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The easiest way to create the new database on the new eprints install, &lt;br /&gt;
and get the permissions right, is to:&lt;br /&gt;
* Copy over all the static files described above.&lt;br /&gt;
* Run configure_archive xxxx, keep pushing return to keep the current options but then choose &amp;#039;yes&amp;#039; to create the database.&lt;br /&gt;
* copy backup.sql to the new machine&lt;br /&gt;
* run on the new machine:&lt;br /&gt;
mysql xxxx -u xxxx -p &amp;lt; backup.sql&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You *can* also copy over the /opt/eprints2/archives/xxxx/html/ directory if you want to save having to rerun things like generate_static and generate_abstracts etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 bin/generate_static xxxx&lt;br /&gt;
 bin/generate_abstracts xxxx&lt;br /&gt;
 bin/generate_views xxxx&lt;br /&gt;
 bin/generate_apacheconf&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then TEST TEST TEST!&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
