Hello,

Our data source is hosted on SQL 2008 server. We need to move it to a server running W2K12 R2 and SQL 2014.

What is the best way to perform DB move?

thank you
Marcel

I would simply try the following procedure:











you can go back to the original on SQL 2008 if you encounter problems, if all is well, decommission the old one.

Hello,

Thanks @Ben05, it sums it up pretty well.

Make sure that when you backup the database you select the "Copy-only backup" option.
I would also create the logins before restoring the database, I believe that users will be linked to logins automatically.

This will work well assuming you're using database accounts. Also, if those database account are linked to a domain, it's important your new SQL-S is on that same domain.

If you plan to change the way users are logging into the data source, make sure they all export their private vault entries, and their user specific settings.

Let us know if you encounter issues


Best regards,
