Overview
This procedure would be used when you need to move the application to a new server, but leave the database on the existing SQL server.
We highly recommend that you do not commit to the migrated installation until you are sure that the application is working without issues.
Procedure
Backup

- In Management Studio:
- Back up your database.
- Restore the backup of your database with a different name, for testing.
- Select the test database in the database-selection menu in the upper-left of the main window and run this query to prevent the test installation from hijacking incoming email:
UPDATE setting SET sys_setting_value = NULL WHERE sys_setting_name IN ('inemailpopserver' ,'inemailimapserver' ,'inemailcdodropfolder' ,'inemailwebdavexchangeurl' ,'emailexchangeserver' ,'inemailexchangeserver')
