Export Database

Omeka Classic Import/Export
1

Hi all, we currently have Omeka Classic that is managed by a hosting provider and will now be going at this alone on our own server. Can anyone share with me the what the best way will be for us to move our entire site from one server to another? Could this be as simple as using mysqldump and creating a dump? Does anyone have experience with this method?

I am not concerned about the customization of the site, but rather I would like to export and import the collections and items as is.

Thank you for any input and for the help and support.

Hi @erhistoricalsociety,

That’s how I would typically move a site. You just create a dump of the database and then import it into your new database. You would also download all of your files and transfer them to your new server.

Okay, thank you. That was my thought process but wanted to confirm that this would be the best way. I appreciate the help and support.
