How to move Buddy Enterprise to another server

To relocate your Enterprise installation and data, follow these steps:

Login to the server where Buddy Enterprise is installed and turn it off:
```
 sudo buddy stop
```
Perform a backup:
```
 sudo buddy backup
```
If you want to backup the cache files, too, use: sudo buddy --full backup
Buddy will inform you where the backup was saved. If you haven’t changed the Application data setting, the file will be saved in ~/.buddy/app/backups/ and named something like 1519120760.tar.gz.
Move the file to the new server.

Download the CLI and install Buddy from backup on the new server:

                         curl -sSL https://get.buddy.works | sh && sudo buddy --backup=path/to/backup install
