Sept 21, 2019 Notes about doing File Migration for Dentrix and Dexis by Mark P Miller, P.E. 228-218-9523 http://primo.ws From Server2008 (Old OEM-Server 2008R2 OS) to Server (New Dell T320-Server2016 OS) Instructions: On old Server, check Shadow Copies and make sure latest ShadowCopy date/time stamp is current Navigate to C:\disks\Backup-Shortcuts\Migration and run script as administrator Script name is RCopy-Both-Dentrix-Dexis-Shadow2.cmd When finished, both Target Folders are opened so robo.logs can be viewed.
