This article describes the steps necessary to migrate agents from one repository to another.

Rapid Recovery version 6.10 and newer allows the migration of recovery points from one repository to another on the same core, To do this you need to follow these steps:

• Click on Repositories from the more menu or go to the following address: https://XXXXXXXXXXXXXX:8006/apprecovery/admin/Repository where XXXXXXXXXXXXXX is the core hostname
• Click on the 3 dots menu on the source repository and select Migrate Protected Machine
