Since support for my pi server is due to expire in a 3 months, I’ve decided to go with a mini windows 11 replacement. I want to migrate the hard drive from the pi to windows but I don’t seem to find a write up that I can follow to make this move. Is there a concise article I can reference? I would try migrating the data between machines if I had a spare disk large enough to match the one on the pi.
Thanks in advance.
Basically, turn OFF the RP. Turn OFF the external USB drive you are using on the RP. Unplug the USB drive cable from the RP. Plug it into the USB port on the mini Windows computer. Install the Channels Dvr software, and do a RESTORE, then choose that drive, on whatever drive letter it mounted as.
Here's the exact instructions, all step by step: Channels Support - How do I move Channels DVR Server to a new computer?
Thanks, Mike, I was hoping it would be that easy! Unfortunately, I got confused because the top level on my hard drive had a folder called Backup, which contained 3 backup files that showed 0 files or passes& they were all over a year old. Once I found the other folder, all went well
I have an unassociated question, so I’ll post it as a new question.
Thanks for your help.
