Backing Up! - Reinstall

[Derek]

Hello, we are needing to reinstall an os on one of our machines and what is the best way to backup the tcadmin services. We have our game server files on drive 2 so we don't need to back up thoose just the services.

 

Any ideas ?

The actual services can be moved as they are. If your using mysql just make a backup of the db and back it up to another location. Reinstall tcadmin, merge the db backup and pull the server files over.

no no no, I am needing to reinstall a remote server.

Sorry about that..

 

I know there's a easier way to go but anytime we've had to reload a remote server we move the server files off site, Reload the OS, Move everything back to the server and after installing the tcadmin software just go into each clients cp and manually add the game server info. (The user account etc will already be there so it's only a matter of adding the game server info.)

 

Hope this helps!

I am having server problems, and am a newbie at this.. where does tcadmin store the database so I can back it up? I may need to do a total reinstall myself. I have never backed it up before.

Azure, take a look in the tcadmin knowledge base. I would link you, but kind of hard to from phone.
