To migrate project metadata and configuration files to a new hard drive or workstation in Flame, perform the following steps.
If these files have already been backup and need to restore, skip to step 6.
/opt/Autodesk/sw/sw_stop all
mkdir -m 777 -p /mnt/StorageMedia/Backup
tar czvPpf /mnt/StorageMedia/Backup/$(hostname)_backup_$(date +"%m-%d-%Y").tgz /opt/Autodesk/{cfg,clip,project,sw/cfg,sw/swdb,user,archive,shared}
/opt/Autodesk/sw/sw_stop all
Restore data from backup location (or /mnt/StorageMedia/Backup/ in this example) using 'tar' command. See the following example:
tar xzvPpf /mnt/StorageMedia/Backup/Beau_adsk_backup_04-01-19.tgz
Start Flame in 'lazy mode' to verify project integrity.
/opt/Autodesk/flame_2020.1/bin/startApplication -Z
