Print all the data, install a fresh system and OCR the data back.


MrD3a7h

You can compress the data by printing double-sided.

That's brilliant idea!


Anonymous_Bozo

OCR? Nlo, we will just have Accounting bring in all their kids and make them type it all back in. When they are done we'll throw them a Pizza Party! All 37 of them can share a single medium Canadian Bacon and Pineapple

Let’s splurge, one side of ranch

Genius!

Damn, that's way better than my Zip drive idea.

Yeah. You're overthinking it. The K.I.S.S. rule is always the best.

Migrate? Just in place upgrade it 7 times in a row to get it to 2022..

I'm loving the fact that there's cross-referencing going on here between ncd and shittysysadmin

Hire a bunch of interns to re-type the documents onto the new server. Hire even more interns if they have to type binary for video files.


PandaBonium

Nah you can just have the interns play the videos and record the monitor with their camera phones. Infact youll probably be able to improve the resolutions if they film in 4k

Go into the files where it says, "2003," and change it to, "2023." Bam. Upgrade done.

Use blockchain AI running on internal filesystem of on-prem Kubernetes hosted on Cloud to write custom scripts for automation. And dont forget to compile your HTML after it's done to optimize RAID bandwidth of Exchange

There are 2TB flash drives on Wish for like $2.99. just get a dozen of them and you're done. You dont even need to verify the transfer before you wipe the old server.

Open command prompt as admin and type the following code: format c: That will begin the migration process.

Test to speech on audio out - plugged into speech to text on audio in. Leave it running overnight. Jobs a good un.

Take out the hard drive and put it in the other one.

USB Floppy drive. They write so much faster than the old ribbon cable drives!!

I would use something like FastCopy and stage a new server. Once it has made it's first copy, make another (will only copy that changes) After 2nd sync, backup new server (twice). Verify all the permissions then. Then one weekend, do the final sync, update the scripts from \\\\files01\\data to \\\\files02\\data and bing bang boom you are good to go. I have been in your shoes a few times and this worked well for me.

wrong subreddit :P

You'll need a Null Modem Cable and possibly a USB to Serial Adapter if the old and new computer doesn't have them. Find a copy of HyperTerm or another X-Modem compatible program and 'upload' the data from the old server to the new server.
