Migration

This guide describes how to migrate Sophos Enterprise Console (SEC) from one server to another. You can use this guide to migrate Sophos Enterprise Console between any supported Windows operating system, 32-bit or 64-bit.

This guide applies to Sophos Enterprise Console 5.5 and later.

We highly recommend speaking with our Professional Services team about how they can assist with your migration using the team’s trained experts.

We also strongly recommend following industry-standard migration best practices principles. These include (but are not limited to): planning, testing, backing up, defining and testing a roll-back strategy and being prepared to execute your roll-back strategy in your defined maintenance window if the steps provided are unsuccessful. Also note that Sophos Support may recommend rolling back (at least temporarily) if you have issues. This recommendation will be based on certain factors such as complexity and timing.

Note This guide describes how to migrate your existing version of Sophos Enterprise Console to another server. You cannot upgrade Sophos Enterprise Console to another major, minor, or maintenance version during the migration process described in this guide. To upgrade, see the upgrade guide.
