Migrate Your HPE Connected MX Data

"When you replace your computer or reinstall its operating system, the logical connection between the device and its backup set breaks because HPE Connected MX (HPE CMX) treats the computer as a new device. If you want the new computer to adopt the old computer's backup set and user-created rules as its own, you or your data administrator must migrate them. Agent preferences set directly through the Agent are not part of the migration process and reset to their default values.

"During the migration process, HPE CMX registers the computer as a new device, reassigns the old computer's backup set and user-created rules to it, and permanently deletes the old device. When migration completes, you receive an email message that confirms the migration and the Agent automatically starts{C}{C}{C}{C} to sync files with HPE CMX. If you or your data administrator started a restore request for the device, the Agent then restores files from the device's new backup set. After any restores complete, the Agent scans the computer for files that require backup based on administrative policy and any user-created rules migrated from the old device. It starts to back up files, if necessary, at the next backup interval."
