[EP-tech] Assistance with eprints 2 options

Hello,

I have a repository that I set up many years ago and maintenance of which has passed away and back again.  It's an eprints 2 repo that is functioning fine but the administrators would like to upgrade/migrate it to version 3.  I believe it's about 7 years old now.  The machine has never been upgraded, not even the OS.

I have the new hardware but I just can't figure out the best way to achieve this.  I've looked at the migration script written by cjg but I'm worried to try code so old. 

Is there a way to just export everything in a format that can be brought into the latest version? 

If not, then I do have the people available to input old the eprints into the new version.  The only issue with that is that the URLs MUST match the original ones.  This new machine will eventually replace the original, once everything is migrated over.   Is there anyway to directly edit the eprint id of a deposit?

Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
