Make sure to install the 8.51 with the exact same database name, Domain hub and robot name as the old one to make your life easier
you do NOT want to copy the Nimsoft directory over as this will cause a problem with the md5 check causing it to fail.
The database username and password do not have to be the same as there should be no reason to restore the data_engine.cfg
The only files I would suggest restoring are the hub.cfg, nas.cfg and nas/scripts folder, distsrv.cfg and the archive folder.
if you have done modifications to other .cfg on the primary you can move those as well.

Yes I'm short on time. So to be clear..
1- uninstall 9.0.2
2- Install 8.5.1
3- copy old database to the new database "should I have the same exact user names and passwords?
4- copy Nimsoft directory from the old core and UMP to the new ones.
Is that correct?
Thanks!
Hany

if you are short on time that is what I would suggest
get the move done first and make sure it is working the way you expect THEN plan an upgade.

Thanks Gene,
They are different versions. new one is 9.0.2 and the old one is 8.5.1
Should I just uninstall 9.0.2 and install 8.5.1 then once everything is back up and working, I can upgrade?

HI.
Is the new install the same version as the old install?
if so you could backup your database from one location and restore it to the new server.
If you have two different version there is no way to move anything in the database between versions.
Most configurations are stored in an individual probe .cfg files
In addition,
1- UMP has nothing at all.
Answer: you need to be more specific? UMP really does not have any configuration other than the page setup.
2- Archive doesn't have all the packages and whatever is there with status OK(no web archive connection)
Answer: you can deactivate the distsrv and ADE on the current one zip up the Nimsoft directory. move it to the new server and deactivate the same probe and replace the archive directory and then activate the two probe.
3- License under Archive are at Auto-generated status except for the nimbus one I was able to copy our license string.
answer: copy your licenses from the other location.

there are other things as well so I need to resolve these issues as we are planning on shutting down the old data center very soon.
I really appreciate your help here with the order of the steps needed to accomplish this!
