To migrate your management server components:

Perform a backup on your current installation, and store the backup file in a safe location.
See the How do I back up and restore the TRITON infrastructure? paper for v7.6.x - 7.8.x in the Technical Library.
Uninstall the TRITON components (TRITON Infrastructure and the Web Security module) from their current location.
Reinstall TRITON Infrastructure and the Web module on the new server.
This makes it possible to preserve your existing global configuration settings, as explained in the next step.
Restore your TRITON Infrastructure backup to the new machine to preserve your TRITON Settings configuration.
Refer to the How do I back up and restore the TRITON infrastructure? paper for instructions.
