Hi,  
I want to migrate from

- **old** : rpi4, ncp 1.52.2, nc 26.0.3.2 to
- **new** : x86, ncp 1.52.2, nc 26.0.3.2

In general I am planning to follow the chapter “Migrating to a different server” from the nc admin manual (basically copying the config.php, database and data folder). That leads me to the following questions:

- What do I need to do differently with regards to **ncp**? e.g. where is the configuration of all the ncp tools stored?
- What about the **apps**? As I am migrating to a different plattform, can I simply copy the apps folders?

thank you,  
kr,  
Martin

Hey Martin,

maye some of these articles in the documentation are going to help you.

> [@How to backup and restore a NextCloudPi instance using ncp config](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/how-to-backup-and-restore-a-nextcloudpi-instance-using-ncp-config/125973):
>
> You may want to move your NCP instance to a larger drive restore it after a hardware failure from 32Bit to 64Bit Operating System (OS) Making backup excluding your data You can visit [https://nextcloudpi.local:4443](https://nextcloudpi.local:4443) for NCP’s web interface or start ncp-config from your NCP terminal by typing: sudo ncp-config Navigate with arrow up ( ↑ ), down ( ↓ ) and Tab, use Enter to select the highlighted option. We are going to use nc-backup to back-up our NC instance to a file.

> [@How to restore NextcloudPi Backup](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/how-to-restore-nextcloudpi-backup/126312):
>
> Restore your Backup A complete restore needs of course in advance a complete backup of NextcloudPi Settings (using nc-export-ncp) and Nextcloud Data, User, Files (using nc-backup - with includedata = yes) Restoring NCP Settings :: Note :: These are only the Settings of NCP, no users, no apps, only what you have configured in the NCP TUI or WebUI. Take care, that your USB-Backupdrive will be mounted automatically. To do that, 1.1 navigate to NCP-TUI …

If you backup all the stuff including data and restore it on your new device it should work.
