Moving Seti Queue to New Machine?

TC · May 29, 2002

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.

Well as long as I don't destroy user accounts and their caches. I would assume the graph stats and remaining info will regenerate with time will it not?

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?

So it doesn't add any registry entries and things of that nature when it is first installed?

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.....
