Moving Project Server 2007 to another box

[Cnegroni]

Hi, I have one Basic installation of Project Server 2007 (with SQL2005
Express in one machine) and I installed a new Project Server 2007 (using two
machines: a BD Server – with SQL2005 Std - and an Application Server – with
Project Server and WSS). The idea is to move tha data from the old server
(Users, Projects, Documents, etc) to the new server. How should I do that?.
The Microsoft document ‘Migration for Office Project Server 2007’ just
explains migrating from Project Server 2003 to Project Server 2007 but that’s
not my case. Besides, I used the backup feature in the Sharepoint Central
Administration Page of the old server and I created a backup of the whole
farm and I tried to restore that backup using the restore feature of the
Sharepoint Central Administration Page of the new server but the process
fails because of duplicate objects. Any help would be appreciated.

Best regards

Carlos Negroni

Hi, in order to close this subject I just wanted to tell you that I was able
to do the migration. Sadly, the procedure mentioned in the blog didn´t work
for me and I had to export every site in the old server and after that import
each one of them in the new server (using stsadm).
