I have created a test library on my new platform to test if everything works with MC 29 and specially the changed network. So far so good.

If I now wanted to move my Production library which is currently on the server to the new platform - how to do that?

1. Delete test library - How? Or should I remove MC 29 and make a new clean install on the new platform and then move to Step 2. ?
2. Restore the latest production library backup

The wiki has a topic on Moving Files.

The trick is to use exactly the same folder structure on the new machine.  Then a backup from the old machine can be restored on the new one.

Thank's JimH but the media files will stay on the old platform. In a first step I will only move MC Server and the library. So all file pathes will be the same. The media files will then move later this year or next year.

Done! - Everything works fine so far. It was simple. I did a fresh MC 29 install, configure audio, video, Restore latest backup, rebuild thumbnails.

And MC run's now on my 1TB Samsung 980 PRO PCIe x4 M.2 SSD. 

The Samsung SSD with pcie 4.0 is lightning fast:
Time for 256 MB file on library / rip drive (C:) to make / read: 0,091 / 0,083 seconds

compared to my old 64 GB Transcend MTS400 M.2 SATA
Time for 256 MB file on library / rip drive (C:) to make / read: 1.089 / 0.486 seconds
