anyone use this backup/restore tool when doing Site migrations? https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-daas/backup-migrate-configuration Currently looking at onprem to onprem
s
used it from on-prem to Daas at least 5 times, nothing to say, it works like a charm. Before it came out, I built my own if you want a starting point: https://stevenlemonier.fr/export-and-import-on-prem-citrix-site-configuration/

Does this work for on-prem to on-prem? 🤔
j
It does! I used it on-prem to on-prem (included a multisite to single site collapse) before going on-prem to DaaS! https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-virtual-apps-desktops/manage-deployment/migrate-on-prem-to-on-prem.html

I saw that chart but thought it was too good to be true - thanks all!

beware
make sure you validate your syntax and/or know how to do an ACT restore or SQL restore ahead of time... it may or may not be easy to pave your environment with the wrong switch

ask how I know
It's been awhile, but I think I assume an incomplete/missing variable in my string defaulted to something I didn't expect.

this was on the 'restore' part?

I don't remember, it was over a year ago. I think it was during the site merge
