[EP-tech] Re: Help with migrating actual eprint documents from 2 to 3.X

No, you've to copy the old files (with the same path!) on the new server and there's an option to fetch them from the filesystem, to the new location.

Hi Yuri,
Are you referring to the option to Base-64 encode documents "--inline"? If so then yes, I've tried that. Unfortunately, this is a 10 year old machine that is installed on VM host that no one has access to anymore. I run out of space when I use the inline option and there is no administrator who can increase the drive space for me. There is no one to administrate the VM host. 

Thanks,
Mike.

The migration tool has also the option to migrate documents, did you use it?
