11. Migrating Intella Connect

This section describes the steps required to migrate Intella Connect from one machine to another either for backup or hardware upgrade purposes.


Note: Please leave Intella Connect and all cases intact on first machine until you are ensured that all cases on second machine are shared properly and that migration was successful.

In order to move the cases to second machine please follow these steps:

  1. Install Intella TEAM/PRO and Intella Connect on second machine.
  2. Un-share cases you want to move on the first machine - this step is required as changes made to case files during the copying of the case could result in damaged copy.
  3. Copy all cases and original evidence files to second machine.
  4. Open Intella Case Manager on second machine and add each of the newly copied cases by pressing ‘Add...’ -> ‘Add an existing case’.
  5. Open each of the cases with Intella TEAM/PRO and check out that Evidence paths are set-up properly. You can do this by going to ‘Sources’ -> ‘Edit evidence paths’.
  6. (optional) If you want to move configuration settings, these folders also have to be moved (Important: please backup original files first):
  • Intella Connect Application Data: C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Roaming\Intella Connect
  • Intella Application Data: C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Roaming\Intella

  1. Make Intella Connect run on desired port by appending ServerPort property in file C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Roaming\Intella Connect\user.prefs:

    ServerPort=8081

  2. Configure proper machine host name & SSL if needed. It is recommended to follow the steps described in Setting up HTTPS section.

  3. Start Intella Connect.
