Hi,

We're setting up a new server and migrating from 10.1 to 10.2 at the same time.

Does anyone have experience with this or know if the backup/ restore approach described here can be applied in this situation?

Cheers!

Before uninstalling your current ArcGIS Server, make copies of the following files and place them in a stable, secure location. Although you won't be able to directly use these files to restore your services, they preserve a reference of the settings you had. These backups are also useful if the migration is interrupted or postponed.

<ArcGIS Server installation location>\Support\Instance.log
<ArcGIS Server installation location>\server\system\Server.dat
<ArcGIS Server installation location>\server\system\ServerTypes.dat
<ArcGIS Server installation location>\server\user\cfg (all folders and files beneath this location)
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ArcGIS\Services\web.config (If necessary, adapt this path to your own web server's root location and your ArcGIS Server instance name.)
