So apart from creating a new host on the OS, you can just RDAdmin - restore database and point it at the older 1.7.2 sql backup file?
Yeah I've fortunately already run in to realising it's tied to a host/ip a few years back. I figured that out when I re-imported all my audio (at the time only a few hundred songs) to find I hadn't lost my database but it was host/ip dependent. Now I'm very specific about backing up the database even to a USB flash drive only on the SQL machine as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerry Dalton" <ge...@gdtvsj.net> To: "User discussion about the Rivendell Radio Automation System" <rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org> Cc: "User discussion about the Rivendell Radio Automation System" <rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org> Sent: Monday, August 06, 2012 12:19 PM Subject: Re: [RDD] arrrrgh!!! % # -- CentOS and Rivendell > It is very easy, the hard part for me was understanding you had to create > a new host on the appliance after you import the database because the old > audio settings are tied to the database and the old original host > > Once I got past that I have been able to have the new system running as a > demo until we cut over in a couple of weeks > > > > > > Sent from my iPad. > > > On Aug 5, 2012, at 6:45 PM, "Gavin Stephens" <small.net...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Is it easy enought (a few clicks) to import an old 1.7.2 database in to >> the >> appliance? >> >> I know Linux can be quite secure, but I'd always perfer a firewall.
