| # running, and once when it is stopped. | |
| tabadmin cleanup | |
| tabadmin stop | |
| tabadmin cleanup | |
| tabadmin start | |
| 2. Backup the Tableau Data | |

| cd "C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau Server\9.1\bin" | |
| b. Create backup | |
| tabadmin backup -d C:\backups\tableau\tabserver-9.1.3 -t c:\tmp\tableau-9.1.3 | |
| 3. Migrate to New Hardware | |
| a. Copy your .tsbak file to the bin folder on your new Tableau Server (for example, C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau Server\9.2\bin). | |
| b. Next, stop Tableau Server. | |
| c. Restore your in-production data without configuration information to your new Tableau Server installation: | |
