COBRAS Restore to re-hosted server

[d.menkel]

I need to perform a backup and restore from a Unity 5.x to a Unity Connection 8.x running on UCS. The servers will be running in parallel so the new server will have a new IP address and Hostnames. Can COBRAS be used to perform this backup and restore to a server with a differnt hostname or does COBRAS require the restore to be performed to a server with the same hostname?

Thanks,

Dave

COBRAS doesn't care about server name or IP address - be sure to check out the COBRAS help file, it goes into quite a bit of detail on this topic (i.e. the differences between COBRAS and DRS and DiRT)

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the speedy reply and confirmation. I thought that the restore was a direct input into the Unity Connection database structure independent of the hostname but needed confirmation.

I had looked through the help doc but could not find any information on the restore being independent of the hostname. I thought that I had come across this in either the help file or audio training and re-checked both before posting (to no avail).

Thanks again for the much needed feedback!!!
