Moving Seti Queue to New Machine?

[TC]

I need to shuffle some boxes around between here and work, and I would like to put my seti queue on a new box. Trouble is I don't know if I can copy the cache/user folders to a new system with a fresh install of Seti Queue. Does anyone know if this works? Will a fresh copy of the server recognize all of the users and caches if I just copy the folders over?

Hmmm...never tried this, sorry. :(

You loose the graphs but the wu's will be fine and some of the user data.

I just copy the SETIQueue directory to the new machine and fire it up on the new machine. Change a few settings to reflect the new server IP, if necessary. Haven't had a problem yet.

it should be just like upgrading it wouldn't it be?

I haven't done a snapshot of the registry before and after to know for sure, but I haven't had an issue with it not running or having errors. Upgrading SETIQueue is also as simple as replacing the .exe with the updated version, so I don't think SETIQueue burrows into the OS like some other apps.

Okay I'll give it a shot later.

good question TC. that's what i've been thinking too, moving queue server to another machine.

from what i know, it doesn't seem to have any registry entry at all. should be a simple "cut & paste" from machine to machine....

pls tell us after u've tried.....:rolleyes:
