To move BioStar 1 Server and DB from one PC to the other PC, follow the below procedure.
There are 4 steps to move BioStar 1 Server&DB to a new PC.
Step 1.
Go onto your current system and make sure each reader is not in server mode.
If the readers are in server mode and they are all on the same network, then you can just take them out of server mode.
If there is a WAN configuration, then you should change the server IP to the new PCs IP and leave them in server mode.
Next you will need to back up the database on the current system.

If you want to back up the profile image of the users you have to manually back up the following directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\BioStar\server\ImageFile
Paste it to the same directory after restoring the database.
Step 2.
Install the same version of MSSQL server or the higher version of MSSQL which is compatible Windows OS.
Then install the same version of the software onto the new PC.
