One such member of our community was Chris Burnat, sadly on Wednesday 11th June 2014 Chris passed away. He was a long time user-developer and one of the most ardent supporters of Koozali SME, we all owe him an enormous debt of gratitude.

The release of SME9 was and is dedicated to Chris [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWhdENNk_Qo Without him it would be nowhere near ready].

It is necessary to backup the old server & then restore to the new server. }}
It is necessary to backup the old server & then restore to the new server. Contribs will need to be reinstalled.}}
The simplest way to do this is via a Console Backup to attached USB disk on the old server. Alternatively use one of the Backup & Restore options available in server manager panel, ie backup to desktop, or backup to workstation (either to attached USB or network share). Other non standard options exist to Backup virtual servers that do not have USB ports etc, & Restore to similar virtual systems, eg using ssh.
{{Tip box|msg=The Restore from USB on first boot function (on a newly installed SME 9 server), will only utilise backups that are saved as smeserver.tgz files, which are the Console backup to USB or the server manager backup to Desktop. The server manager backup to Workstation (either to USB or network share) creates a "backupdate.dar" type filename (or multiple split parts) & cannot be used to restore using the Restore on first boot function, it can only be used for restores from server manager.}}
{{Tip box|msg=After a Restore to new hardware, networking may not be functional. This is caused by the restored NIC settings being incorrect for the NIC's in the new hardware. To fix this, login as admin & from the console menu select Configure this server. Step through the screens & choose the new hardware network card (NIC) drivers, & leave other settings unchanged.}}
