If, for example, the disk space of your current main storage is no longer sufficient for one or more HD stores, you can set up the main storage at a new location. In doing so, you can take your existing HD data with you. To move a main storage with intermediate storage, you need to follow special steps.

Moving main storage without intermediate storage

  1. Stop the data acquisition in ibaPDA.

  2. Create a backup of the desired HD store in ibaHDManager . This way, you have a backup copy of the data.

    See also Creating a backup manually.

  3. When the backup is ready, stop the ibaHD-Server service, e.g. via ibaHD Manager.

  4. Now copy the entire directory of the main storage to the new location.

  5. When the copying process is finished, start the ibaHD-Server service again, e.g. via ibaHD Manager.

  6. In the ibaHD Manager, select the new location of the main storage for each copied HD store in the General tab via the <Configure HD stores> button.

  7. If you apply the configuration, keep the data still in the old directory as a backup copy and reject the final deletion.

  8. Now check whether all the data was copied. If all data was copied, you can delete the old directory of the HD store.
