Database migration

Move supported SQLite data to MySQL or MariaDB using verified migration and cutover controls.

Micro CMS can move supported data areas from SQLite to MySQL or MariaDB without using a manual database export as the normal migration path.

Standalone sites

Use the database controls provided by the standalone Site settings for the supported data areas. Test the connection, run the migration, verify the result and only then switch the live driver.

Bridge Silos

For a managed Silo, open its Silo Control Centre → Storage Backend. Platform/CMS Data, Media catalogue, Interactions and Analytics can be configured independently where the current release supports them.

Verified copy before cutover

Save & Test Connections checks the supplied target. Migrate Selected Data copies and verifies the selected data without switching the live Silo. A successful result is shown as a VERIFIED COPY.

Switch to the verified database

Choose Switch to Verified Database only after reviewing the verified result. Micro CMS creates a Recovery Point first, refreshes the copy against current data and switches only if the final verification remains safe.

Unlock a migration

Unlock Migration releases a verified migration state when you need to change the target details. It does not clear or overwrite the staged external database. Use a fresh or empty target before starting a different migration.
