Backup / Restore DB Problem

I want change my Server Hardware and OS.

Old Server: Windows 2003 Server 32Bit English with WMS Version 1.09.1
New Server: Windows 2011 Home Server 64Bit German with WMS Version 1.12.1

When I restore the previous made backup from the old server the movie and music windows are empty. :cry: Device and program settings are working fine after restore. The Backup contains database, program settings, devices configuration and cache thumbnails. The Movie files have the same location on the HD…

- Is it possible to restore a Backup from an older WMS to a newer Version of WMS?
- Are there any steps to do after restore?

Thanks
Alexander

Close the program
Open backup.zip
Extract wms.dat to ?:\Program Data\Wild Media Server

New version of the program support old structure.

Thanks…it works great! :D

What database System does WMS use?
It’s possible to open / import the wms.dat in to MS Access?

Best Regard

List [Movies] - right click - Save to file - "HTML, XML, XLS, TEXT, RTF".

Database has own format
