You really should consider hiring a Sage Consultant to come on sight and help you.  With their help, I think we did it in less than a day on one live company data folder and 19 years of archived data folders without using the replicator.  I feel like it would be so easy to mess things up without someone's help even using Sage's Server Migration Tool.  I think Knowledgebase has some information on server migration that you should search for (along with the documentation under help).  I think it becomes more difficult if you use file attachments, macros, My Assistant, etc. 

 We did as much as we could do beforehand by backing up, running file doctor, and lastly backing up again.

Hi Rhonda,

Thanks for the advice, that was my original plan until it was sidelined by my uppers. Unfortunately, I am resolved to performing the migration my self.

I have found KB articles that will help and also discovered the company has a gold support plan. Between the two I think I can pull it off.

Would you be able to share the KB' notes you have found useful. I too need to do the same task, and could use your guidance, and KB notes

Hi Stan, here ya go. Be sure to do your own homework, make sure the links are for your product. Some of the links are of the same context, however, I've included them as there may be differences in details between them. I'd rather have too much than too little documentation...

Sage Support: 800 551 8307 6am – 5pm PST. Will need to have a service plan to use, but who knows they might offer a tid bit of guidance that might make all the difference.

I'm still gathering info on third part add-ons, and sage module integration. Will share what I find

Good Luck!

I'm curious as to how everything went?  I am planning on doing the same thing this weekend.  I am a long time Sage user but never have used the migration tool.
