Copy Vaults Content to New Hardware
This step is optional for test upgrades if you decide not to update content during the upgrade process. Copy the file content from the old hardware to the new hardware. When copying the folders and their contents, make sure that the exact same folder structure is used on the target installation. If using remote sites that have master vaults, copy the vault contents for remote file servers as well and maintain the same exact folder structure..
