If you have multiple instances of Identity Server and want to move your data and configurations from one instance to another (such as moving from development to test or production), you can create a Carbon Application project (C-App) and deploy the C-App in the new environment as discussed in Creating and Deploying a C-App. This approach works when the new instance you are migrating to uses the same Identity Server release and has the same database versions as the previous instance.
See Upgrading from a Previous Release in the following situations:
- The new environment you are migrating to has a different database version. In this case, you must upgrade the older database.
- You want to upgrade from a previous Identity Server release to a new one.
