Move to a new server

I recently purchased a new QNAP, and I was wondering wat the best method was was to move the docker Crashplan instance to this new server ? I have already moved all the data to the new server.

Crashplan itself has an adopt machine mechanism that is used when you move to a new machine. So I'd imagine you would setup the docker with the same volume mounts/paths. And on first launch after you login, you select your old machine to adopt. Crashplan will then scan all the files and resume backing up.

Note: Looks like they now call it replace instead of adopt.

If you copied the container's config folder (i.e. the folder you mapped to /config) to the new server and you re-create the container the same way (same settings), then CrashPlan should continue to work like before, without doing anything special.

That worked like a charm, it's now busy synching. Thank you.
