(AvidWG or AvidAM) using the Manage Databases View.

page 89
).

folder. Copy the _InternalData folder to the Workgroup_Databases folder. Make sure the
path on the target server matches the path on the source server.

16. Verify that all users are on the system by opening the User Management view and viewing
the lists of user groups.

If all data is available, the new database is ready for use.
If necessary, remove the old database from Interplay Access by right-clicking the database
name and then clicking Remove Databases.
19. (Option) On the source server, rename the original database folder to avoid unwanted future
access.
