1.9. Backing Up or Moving a DataHub Installation
It is possible to back up a DataHub installation, either for archival purposes, or for moving it to a different machine.

The Cogent DataHub End User License Agreement prohibits installing any DataHub license on more than one machine at a time. So, if you are moving the Cogent DataHub software from one machine to another, after copying the license file from the first machine, you must delete it from that machine before installing it on the second machine. |
To back up the necessary DataHub files, you will need to copy everything in the following directories:
For DataHub version 9, 10 or 11:
C:\Users\
UserName\AppData\Roaming\Cogent DataHub\All custom scripts and configuration files must be copied from their directory on the first machine to an identical directory on the second machine.
For DataHub versions 7 or 8 running in Windows XP or Windows Server 2003:
C:\Documents and Settings\
User Name\Application Data\Cogent DataHub\ C:\Program Files\Cogent\Cogent DataHub\scripts\ C:\Program Files\Cogent\Cogent DataHub\Plugin\WebServer\html\For DataHub versions 7 or 8 running in any other Windows version:
C:\Users\
UserName\AppData\Roaming\Cogent DataHub\ C:\Program Files (x86)\Cogent\Cogent DataHub\scripts\ C:\Program Files (x86)\Cogent\Cogent DataHub\Plugin\WebServer\html\
In addition to this, if you have created any custom configuration files, they should also be copied from their directory on the first machine to an identical directory on the second machine.
You will need to restart the DataHub instance receiving the new configuration files before they will take effect.
