Migrating dotDefender Settings to New Hardware

This article will assist you in moving your dotDefender settings over to new hardware during a migration process. This has been tested with dotDefender 3.x and 4.x. This only applies to Cloud and Dedicated accounts.  You can view more information about dotDefender at http://www.hosting.com/services/managed-services/security/web-application-security.

  1. Move the $:\Program Files\Applicure\dotDefender\ETC directory from the old hardware to the desktop of the new server.

  2. Install dotDefender on the new server (it should be the same version as the old server had. If it is not, please open up a ticket with support to see if you can migrate the settings still).

  3. On the new server, backup the $:\Program Files\Applicure\dotDefender\ETC  folder to $:\Program Files\Applicure\dotDefender\ETC-old (Just copy and paste the folder, then rename the "Copy of" version).

  4. On the new server, replace $:\Program Files\Applicure\dotDefender\ETC with the folder you placed on the desktop in step 1.
