Question

How tranfer a OS "live" for another computer

by jhvissot Feb 7, 2017 7:07PM PST

Hi guys!

I have a big problem!

I have a software runing in VPS and I want to move it to another computer (another VPS, preferentially). BUT, this software can not be stoped, if I close the application, copy, paste in other computer and run, then it will'not run anymore.

In other words, it is like if I have a heart living and pulsing inside of a pacient'body and I want to transfer this heart to anothet pacient'body. The heart needs to continue living and pulsing.

In the other hands hands, for facility my problem, I can not stop the application but I can hibernate the windows, copy your files, transfer for another computer and turn on the windows again. This way, the app will not stop.

In ther words, it is like if I pause the time, make some modifications and resume it again.

So, but I have another problem, how will hibernate the windows, copy your files and paste in another computer if I have this PC (because it's a VPS) and more, the second computer, that will receive the copy in hibernation, I need to have the same configurations of my first computer, other wise, the windows will not turn on.

Only...

Some tips ???

Thanks for any help !!!!

PS: Sorry for my erros w/ english :// I'm don't speak english

What is a VPS?

Right off the start https://www.google.com/search?q=vps tells me this is not a VM like Virtual Box or VMWare.

So if I ignore that, the feature you want in this software is something you'll go back to the software's author and ask them to implement.
