Upgrade path?

I don't think your old Nav Server 3.10 will run on newer windows platforms (2008, 2012). Server 2003 yes!

We have an old version running on a new Dell Server:

It says it doesn't support win server 2003 but it you can add the proper drivers to your installation using this method:

Sounds like you got your money's worth out of the old servers.
There are plenty of cheap refurbished servers out there if you are on a budget.

I would also assume you have not been paying Nav maintenance for serveral years so getting updated clients is probably out of the question.

So are you down right now or is the A server running?

How are you doing your backups?
using a tool like http://www.mibuso.com/dlinfo.asp?FileID=879
or HOTCOPY?? http://www.mibuso.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1604

if on a network you can always copy the full database to a different pc - just in case

as i said we have a new machine:
http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/poweredge-t430/pd

2003 might not be supported soon but frankly I never needed any support for it.

And if you have gone so long - upgrades might not be the best path. you're probably better off getting the new version and move forward. just add the customers, items, vendors & open entries.

For history you can log into the old system...before you know it in a few months you won't be going into the old version much at all.

Not sure it's even advisable to try and start a new database with old data. Anyway, my thoughts were we have a new hard drive, reinstalled 2003 SBS, and will start with a fresh database and no data in it or new software entirely. Hopefully will see today or tomorrow.
