Conflunnce: Migration to another server and db server.

Question

Hi guys!

We're using now Confluence Server on test server (with H2 db).

We'd like to migrate to production server and to MS SQL db.

Could you please tell me what should we do first?

Migrate to MS SQL db on test server and then migrate to production server?

or

Migrate to production server and then migrate to MS SQL on production server?

Thanks in advance!

@Peter DeWittthanks for an answer.

We did like you mentioned, and we've just migrated Confluence to another server (new instance is running with H2 db).

Add-ons weren't migrated, is it right behavior or sth went wrong?

@Sebastian P, I would recommend migrating to the new server and then upgrading the DB.  If you take this approach, you will be able to leave you current production server ad-is and have a roll back should anything go wrong with the move and upgrade.
