- * Install a Trac environment on the destination machine.
+ * Install a Trac project on the destination machine.
 
- * On the source machine, dump the SQLite database:
-{{{
-$ sqlite3 /path/to/trac/db/trac.db ".dump" >> sqlite_trac.sql
+ * On the source machine, backup the environment using `trac-admin $env hotcopy $backup_dir`, as described on the TracBackup page.
+
+ * Modify the repository location, if different on the destination machine, through the web administration page (`/admin/versioncontrol/repository`),  using [TracRepositoryAdmin#ReposDatabase TracAdmin] or by directly editing trac.ini.
+ 
+ * Copy the environment backup to the destination machine.
+ {{{#!sh
+$ scp $backup_dir root@192.168.11.125:/root/
 }}}
 
- * Adjust the system table ('''sqlite_trac.sql''') to fix the repository_dir if it is different on the destination machine:
-{{{
- INSERT INTO "system" VALUES('repository_dir', 'svn:fc784ba1-7bb2-4f0b-9d6b-749d55304f83:/var/spool/raid/svn_repo');
-}}}
- 
- * Copy the db script to the destination machine:
-{{{
-$ scp sqlite_trac.sql root@192.168.11.125:/root/
-}}}
+ * Copy the environment to the location of the project created in the first step.
 
- * Import the script into a database and copy it to the relevant folder:
-{{{
-$ cat sqlite_trac.sql | sqlite3  trac.db
-$ mv trac.db  /var/spool/raid/trac/db/trac.db
-$ chown -R www-data /var/spool/raid/trac/db/trac.db
-}}}

- * Migrate any attachments that may exist:
-{{{
-$ scp  /home/trac/attachments/wiki root@192.168.11.125:/var/spool/raid/trac/attachments/
-$ chown -R www-data /var/spool/raid/trac/attachments/
-}}}
+ * Upgrade the environment if an upgrade is indicated to be necessary. See TracUpgrade for more information.
 
  * Restart tracd or Apache.
