[HC2/HCL] Configuration transfer between Home Centers (backup transfer)

What is the procedure of configuration transfer?

  1. Both Home Centers will be going through the recovery process and their memory will be cleared.
  2. After correct configuration transfer, cloud backups from donor Home Center will be shown on the target Home Center and on the donor Home Center you will see incompatible backup – making it impossible to do a Home Center clone.
  3. You have to restore a transferred cloud backup on target Home Center, which will install suitable configuration of a Home Center.

In case of problems with finishing the configuration transfer, always contact Technical Support. Our engineers are able to recall the migration.
