Guidance Needed: Migrating Seq Instance to a New Windows OS Server

[csession001]

We’re planning to move our Seq instance to a new Windows server and we want to make sure we keep all of our existing logs and make the switch as smooth as possible.

A couple of things we’re hoping to get help with:

Logs and Data: What’s the best way to back up our current data and bring it over to the new server without any hiccups?

Settings Transfer: Is there an easy way to copy over all our configurations (like settings, API keys, and users) to the new setup?

Upgrade Advice: We’re thinking about upgrading to the latest version of Seq while we’re at it. Any tips for doing that during a migration?

Potential Gotchas: Are there any common problems we should watch out for during this process?

If there’s a guide or best practices doc out there for something like this, feel free to point us in the right direction.

Cheers
