Importing an existing Repository into a new one

Hello,

I'm about to create a new Vault server on a new machine, with the latest 3.0.x version. This will be a new purchase.

I've got one project currenlty running on an older 2.0.x version of Vault. There is an existing repository of about 60 meg, with 4-5 users. Not too big of a deal, but it's code that I want to keep.

Am I able to take this older Vault version and import it into the new system? Or, should I do one of the following:
1. Keep using the old server until that project is completed?
2. Add the code to the new version of Vault as a new project, and just use the old server for historical information?

Thanks,

Matt

Vault currently doesn't allow moving repositories from one database to another. However, here's a way to keep your existing repository when you move to Vault 3.0:

Backup and restore your 2.0 database to your new MS SQL Server machine. Then run the Vault 3.0 installer against this database. Vault 3.0 will upgrade the 2.0 database to 3.0. You can then add additional repositories for your new work.
