Skype DB migration

nettech 151

Hi,

We have Skype for Business 2016 running on prem with DBs hosted on a remote SQL 2014 server. SQL 2014 is going away and we already have 2019 server ready as a replacement.

Here is a list of Skype DBs we need to migrate.

QoEMetrics, LcsCDR, LcsLog, rtcab, rtcxds, xds

We came across this KB which only talks about moving LcsLog DB, but how do we properly move other DBs?

Before you move the QoEMetrics and LcsCdr databases, it is necessary to do the following:
1.Gather the information you’ll need.
2.Make sure the monitoring databases are backed up.
Then back up the QoEMetrics and LcsCdr Databases.

Before you move the LcsLog database, you first need the location of the server or servers that host the Archiving service and the Lync Server archiving database
Confirm the location of the Archiving service Filestore.
Then back up the LcsLog database, after this move it.
For more details, please refer to the following document, it’s similar to SFB 2015
