I just went through this, so I understand the pain... If what you mean by "move historian files to new server" is migrate to a new gateway, this is what I referenced during my migration: [Ignition Historian DB and migration to the new gateway](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ignition-historian-db-and-migration-to-the-new-gateway/41813) You will need to be comfortable executing some SQL scripts to get this done. I can provide more details if you're interested in exactly what I did, though calling IA support may be the best solution forward. Some more details are needed to get what you need - What exactly is being migrated (GW or db or both)? What database type are you using? Where is the database located? --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/move-historian-files-to-new-server/69450)._
