21. Transfer User Data Between Servers | (System Settings) |
As a system administrator, you can transfer user data between servers when setting up a new server, you you can transfer user data to another server already running Office 4.
This process transfers only partial information. It is useful if single users are moving to another system. The following information will be transferred:
- User information
- Scheduler
- Whereabouts
- Messages
- Time Sheet
- Private Address List
- ToDo List
- User Directory
If you want to do a full migration of data for all users to a new server, see Migration Help at the bottom of the Installation page.
Please use this feature only to transfer user data between servers. Do not use it for any other purpose.
In this section, we cover the major tasks in performing data transfer activities—exporting, adding, importing, and deleting. Each major activity is presented one after the other.
