Migrate NVivo Collaboration Server Release 1 (or server projects)

NVivo Collaboration Server Release 1

This topic explains how you can migrate server projects to another location—for example, you may want to relocate projects to another disk drive on the server. If you are decommissioning a server, you can migrate the projects and NVivo Collaboration Server Release 1 itself to another server. This process can also be used to manually upgrade from NVivo Server.
