RBS copy or back up

[Ken]

Project Server 2003:
I have a large RBS already in place on the server. I need to migrate all
resources and projects to another server domain (1st system goes away). Is
there a way to copy the RBS to then import to the new domain?

Ken:

Is there any reason why you can't take the approach of restoring the old
database backup onto the new machine? This is the most efficient way to
transfer the system.

You can also back up and restore the enterprise global which will have all
your custom fields including the RBS. But if you are moving resources and
projects then backing up and restoring the entire db would be even better
like Gary said.

I know that Microsoft support this, but retoring an e-global from one system
to the other is fairly dangerous. A bit like a game of Russian roulette. I
sugest a full backup before doing it.

Thank you to both Gary and Jonathon.
The db is in a new domain so we have different SID and UID and GUID.

I imported dthe e-global and don't see the RBS yet....any thoughts?

My thoughts are the same. Don't do it.
