NOTE: These instructions are current as of Filewave 11.2.2 on CentOS

1. Install the same version of Filewave on the new/rebuilt server
   
2. Stop the Filewave service:
   sudo fwcontrol server stop
   
3. Copy the backup files to the new server (via SCP or SFTP)
   
4. Move the Data Folder to the corresponding directory:
   mv /path/to/old/Data\ Folder /fwxserver/
   
5. Start the postgres process:
   sudo -u postgres /usr/local/filewave/postgresql/bin/pg_ctl start -w -D /fwxserver/DB/pg_data -m fast
   
6. Delete the MDM database and recreate it from scratch:
   /usr/local/filewave/postgresql/bin/psql postgres postgres
   a) In Postgres type:
   postgres=# drop database mdm;
postgres=# create database mdm OWNER postgres ENCODING 'UTF8' TEMPLATE template0;
   b) Quit Postgres (postgres=# \q)
   
7. Restore the dump from your backup:
   /usr/local/filewave/postgresql/bin/psql -U postgres mdm < /path_to/mdm_dump.sql
   
8. Download and run the fix permissions script from here:
   cd ~
wget https://chrisreinking.com/public/fixfwxserverPermissions5.X-3.sh
chmod 777 fixfwxserverPermissions5.X-3.sh
./fixfwxserverPermissions5.X-3.sh
   
9. Run the below 3 commands to finalize the restoration process:

/usr/local/sbin/fwxserver -M
fwcontrol server restart
