A.1 Understanding the Migration and Upgrade Process

The recommended method for migrating a version 9.x repository is to install a new, empty version 9.x repository on the new SQL Server, close connections to the repository you will migrate, create a backup copy, and restore the backup copy over the empty repository on the new SQL Server. After you restore the repository, additional tasks are necessary to ensure proper operation.

If you migrate a repository from a 32-bit computer to a 64-bit computer, you must disconnect the 32-bit repository.

The following checklist outlines the migration process and provides references to detailed information.
