I am trying to move our Dude server (4.0beta3) from a 2003SBS Server to a 64bit 2008R2 server.

If I use the export/import it gets stuck on importing, no error it just sits there.

I also tried stopping the server and copying the entire data folder but it wont connect locally on the new server when I try starting it. (connection aborted)

If I reset the config, it runs and I can discover network etc.

Are there any logs I can check?

Try to vacuum the database then import it?

Tried vacuum etc with no luck.

I found the best way was to highlight all the items in the dude map, CTRL+C to copy, then open the new dude server and CTRL+P. Works a treat!

Obviously you do not get outage or bandwidth history but it saved adding 200+ items manually.

ctrl+p or ctrl+v?what version are you using?I have a backup server with about 1000 devices.I want to copy it how you explained and i see this:
its copy to new dude server, but new device appears only in devices, not on map

UP?

I think he meant CTRL-V

CTRL+C and CTRL+V to move items. You can also paste into a text editor, save as text, move to another PC, then copy and paste into the dude. The data being pasted will look like XML text

when i do so copypasted devices are in devices list but not on map where i do paste.what i`m doing wrong?

copy and paste from/to the map view

I have the same problem where the export does not seem to finish using 4.0beta3. I tried to copy and paste but paste does not work in the "Network Map" view. I can however see the devices under the "Devices" view. I am trying to move it to a server running 2012. Any ideas? Thanks.

I just needed to be more patient, the export finished(4GB) and i was able to import it on the new server. Thanks.

I found a way how to copypaste devices from one dude server to other
1.go to maps and copy map on first server
2.create map on second server
3.paste to it
4.go to network map on second server and paste to created map
5.delete map without devices
Dude will create 2 maps - map without devices and map-2 with devices.
Bad things:
devices which shoud be in map1 stays in device list without any map.
After map1 delete devices from this map witch are invisible stay in device list.
MikroTik Team, please add ability to import/add maps from backups without overwriting existing maps or normal working copypaste
