I want to move my Servers Alive installation to a new system, but I don't want to re-enter all info (setup/entries/...) How can I do this?

First of all make sure to install on the new system, the same version of Servers Alive as on the old system.


Then you can create a backup of the setup settings (this includes people/team/protocols too) by doing:


* start regedit and goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DBU Consulting\Servers Alive (32 bits OS) and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\DBU Consulting\Servers Alive (64 bits OS)


* select EXPORT registry from the REGISTRY (or FILE) menu.
If you want to move from a 32 bits OS to a 64 bits OS then make sure to change the registry location from [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DBU Consulting\Servers Alive] to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\DBU Consulting\Servers Alive]


* copy the created .REG file to the new system


* execute the .REG file (double click on it) on the new system (this will insert the setup info into the registry of the new system)


* copy the entriesfile, groups.grp file and all eventual templates to the new system
(for Servers Alive v7 the groups.grp and samib.db file can found in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\application data\woodstone\Servers Alive or c:\programdata\Woodstone\Servers Alive depending on the OS that is being used.)

Customer praise

"What an absolutely fantastic piece of software. Why go down the expensive SNMP route when this does all you need in an enterprise monitoring solution and all for $90! Everything is easy to configure and we had it sending SMS messages in minutes.

Thanks a lot. I will be recommending this to all my colleagues."
