Moving to a different server

Hi,
There is any easy way to take all the data and move for a different server?
I have the installation in one server and I'm thinking to move for a different one, can't find and export all data and settings or import all data and settings.
Is it possible or do I need to do everything from scratch?

You could just take a backup of your database or an export of your database.
Since all of the data is stored in there you should be able to just move this database to a different site and run a new instance of akaunting on your new server using that database.

Will it be similar when moving the WordPress website? Does it have any connection to the domain name?

I think it depends, if you're using things like payment links and customer portals those will probably need to be changed. For just the accounting section I'm pretty sure it won't matter.
I would however make sure that the locations where images and dependecies are stored are the same as those might be referenced in the database.

Just a short notice on that: The _absolute_ URL path is written to the .env file in document root; so after moving to another host it will be helpful to adapt the section accordingly (APP_URL=https://[domainname.something])
Kind regards
