Appendix N: Migrating Crestron Home

Processors

Migrate data between different Crestron Home processors by transferring the system data to a
new Crestron Home processor. Data can also be transferred between Crestron Home processors
as a means of transferring system data from a test system to a live system or to replace a
processor.

There are three methods of transferring system data. The transfer method used depends on the
location of the system data and available components.
l Transfer data using a deploy code: Transfer system data from a cloud backup to a new
Crestron Home processor. The deploy code is the most versatile method of transferring
data and is recommended for most situations. The Crestron Home processor system data
must be backed up using the myCrestron Residential Monitoring Service.

For details, refer to Transfer Data using a Deploy Code (Recommended) (on the next
page).
l Copy data between processors: Transfer system data by copying the data from an old
processor to a new processor. The file transfer is performed with an FTP client. The system
data being copied must be previously copied and stored or both control processors must
be available.

For details, refer to Copy Data between Control Processors (on page 952).
l Copy data from a cloud backup file: Transfer system data by downloading a Golden
Configuration backup file downloaded from the myCrestron Residential Monitoring
Service and transferring the backup to a new processor. The file transfer is performed
with an FTP client. The Crestron Home processor system data must be backed up using
the myCrestron Residential Monitoring Service or the Golden Configuration backup file
must be previously downloaded and stored.
For details, refer to Copy Data from a myCrestron Cloud Backup File (on page 955).
