Sorry, the post was blank after first editing it.
I have three questions regarding upgrading my Websense Installation. I currently have Triton and Web Filter 7.6.3 running on Server 2003 R2. I will be moving to new hardware on a Server 2008 R2 box with a different NetBIOS name.
I understand the backup and restore procedure and steps, but am a not sure what exactly happens during the restoration.
My first question is regarding log databases, they are currently housed on an external SQL instance. After restoring the configuration to the new server, will the new server point to the Log Database server automatically?
When Installing Websense 7.6.3 on the new hardware, do I simply choose the products currently installed, and then use "dummy" setup options as the configuration restore will overwrite everything, or do I have to clone my current installation settings? (I've never installed Websense before)
Lastly after restoring the configuration I assume I must offline my old server immediately to ensure the log databases do not get corrupted?
Thank you kindly for your time!
