Re-running Passbolt Migration After 1 Year – Full or Partial Migration Recommended?

Hi everyone,

more than a year ago I migrated an old Passbolt server to a new server. Unfortunately, the new server has not been approved for production use until now, so the old server is still the one actively used.

Now I’m thinking about doing the migration again from the old server to the new one.

Are there any concerns with doing a full migration again after such a long time, or would you recommend only migrating certain parts (e.g. users, passwords, etc.) instead? Just rerun migration like described in the documents?

Should I drop database before migration or is there something else i need to know?

Old server version: Passbolt CE 4.12.1
New server version: Passbolt CE 5.11.0

Thank you very much!

Edit: I think this is all?

sudo su -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/share/php/passbolt/bin/cake passbolt drop_tables" www-data
mysql -u PASSBOLT_DATABASE_USER -p PASSBOLT_DATABASE < passbolt-backup.sql

DONE.

Lab testing was successful
