Moving a VAR database to a new environment is useful if you have a new server or software environment and want to switch your data to it. You can preserve all the data for the sites in the database by moving the database from one environment to another. The risk of losing data is minimized.
Moving a VAR database does not affect the other VAR databases managed by VAR admin.
If you need to move Service Center, a Report Server, or an Onsite Manager, refer to the Moving Barracuda RMM chapter in the Hosting Provider Setup Guide.
