To migrate your projects to a new server after a crash:

  1. Recover Data – If possible, retrieve files from backups or the crashed server’s disk.
  2. Set Up the New Server – Install the necessary OS, software, and dependencies.
  3. Transfer Files – Use rsync, SCP, or restore from backups.
  4. Reconfigure Services – Update environment variables, database connections, and server settings.
  5. Test & Verify – Ensure all projects run correctly before going live.

Do you have recent backups or access to the old server’s storage?

The new server is now kf.kobotoolbox. I don’t have the permissions to upload the databases from the server. Would it be possible to migrate from the kf.kobotoolbox administration?
