Hi,

Here is a schema of a typical WorkflowGen setup using a load balancer:

Here is a document explaining how to migrate the environment:

I have found **moving the WorkflowGen application** section in technical reference guide - it says **set up the same version of WorkflowGen on the new server as step 2**. This means backing up whole application including IIS configuration on current server and restore these to a new one is not feasible? If so does it mean “blank” workflowgen application must be installed on a new server (same version as on current one) including creating new database before application can be moved from the current server and then do in-place upgrade on new server?

Hi,

Yes, this means installing a new worklfowgen application on the new server and then moving the backed up files/folders from the old server to the new one.

You can backup the old database and restore it in the new server (No need to create a new blank database)
