Upgrade boot SSD without having to re-sync

Bugs and issues Linux
#1

Hi,

How do i upgrade my boot SSD without having to re-sync everything? i.e. I will reinstall Ubuntu Mate

The path to the files on the local network won’t change as a result of upgrading the boot drive.

Cheers

Hi! You’ll need to follow this guide for moving Insync to a new computer since reinstalling Ubuntu Mate will affect the Insync dbs files :slight_smile:

Hi,

Point 5 in the guide here Moving Insync to a new computer without re-syncing says:

“Start Insync on Machine 2 and 1”

There won’t be a machine 1 in my scenario, does that matter?

Cheers

@Hika_Reti No, that will not matter, you can just start it on your new installation. The important thing is to backup the “dbs” folder before reinstalling.

Thanks,

Just one more question/clarification, by copy the “dbs” folder you mean copy the entire insync folder from “/.config/” to “/.config/” on the new install don’t you? Rather than just the “dbs” folder inside the insync folder.

Cheers
