Let's say you need to copy a whole Grooper Repository from one server to another. You can do that by backing up the Grooper Database and File Store on the source server and restoring it on the target server.

The general steps are as follows:

  1. Backup the Grooper Database on the source server using SQL Server Management Studio.
  2. Restore the Grooper Database backup on the target server as a new database using SQL Server Management Studio.
  3. Copy the Grooper File Store from the source server to the target server.
  4. Change the Primary File Store's path to copied File Store's location by updating the File Store object in the Tree Node table in SQL Server Management Studio.
  5. Create a new Grooper Repository connection on the target server, connecting to the restored Grooper Database on the target server in Grooper Config.
  6. Verify objects and files are accessible in new Grooper Repository connection.
