Read the Doremi/Dolby Doku on the Backup Manager. You can not only backup and restore the Macros with it, but the whole system configuration. You can then restore the config from a USB stick onto your Backup server.

http://www.doremilabs.com/downloads/manuals/DCP-2000_Backup_Manager_User_Manual_002721_v1_1.pdf

A backup of your Macros (and a lot of other system files as well) is also contained in a detailed log that you can also write to a USB stick.

The backup manager does not copy content, you need to move the RAID between the two servers.

Make sure you have both machines on the same software level.

I do it like this:
I go to browser and type:
ftp://[ip of the sever]
Enter the User ID of admin and password.
Go to etc directory
Copy the macros.xml.
Then go to the new sever and past it on the same place.
pay attention that the macro editor is not runing.
Open it after the transfer and it appears.

Make a backup using backup manager to USB, or create a detailed report to a USB stick.

Both ways will store your Macros to the stick. The backup method is the better one if you want to prepare a backup server will all the necessary data.

control panel, backup manager, specify to save to USB

OR

Insert USB stick and close the ingest manager that pops up.
Go to system applications, terminal, log in as su, enter:

sh /doremi/sbin/migrate.sh backup /media/usb0

Exactly! - that's a zero, and the spaces are vital.

To restore you can put in the USB stick and use backup manager again or through the terminal as above, the command is now:

sh /doremi/sbin/migrate.sh restore /media/usb0/<filename>

Where <filename> is your backup file, it's named like "DCP2000_211149_2015-11-03T17-48-38.dbk" - you can just type DCP2000<tab> and the name should fill itself in.

Dear All

Thank You For Your Valuable Replays
My Request is Our Old One Server All Macro Cues Copy To New Other One Only

Just use ftp and take out /doremi/etc/macros.xml from the "old" server and then ftp it into the new one (same folder). Connecting via ftp using the admin name and password allows you to access the /doremi folders. You get write permission... except with IMS servers.
You can log in as su and do this by copying to/from a USB stick but it's a LOT easier with ftp.

assuming you can log in as su in the terminal window:

- insert a USB stick formatted FAT16 or FAT32 - not NTFS, not EXFAT. Close the ingest window that pops up.
Don't have any other USB storage plugged in (keyboard/mouse is OK)

Enter: (exactly - note the spaces, very important!) *** that's a zero in USB0 ***

mount -o rw,remount /media/usb0

cd /doremi/etc
cp macros.xml /media/usb0/macros.xml

That's it.

Check it's on the USB stick with:

ls /media/usb0

this will list the contents of the USB stick. Or you can just put it in your PC and check.

It's a good idea to unmount the USB stick before pulling it out:

umount /media/usb0
