Toolpack Migration Steps

Create a backup of your configuration

If not already done, do a backup of your database, just to be on the safe side.

 mysqldump -u'[DatabaseUsername]' -p'[DatabasePassword]' --opt'[ToolpackDatabaseName]' > '[ToolpackBackupFile]'

ex.

 mysqldump -utbdb -ptbdbpw --opt toolpack_0 > toolpack_0.sql
