Transferring a music library and database from one Innuos server to another is a scenario that occurs for users when upgrading to a new system, such as moving from a ZEN Mk3 to a ZENith Mk3 or Statement. This article provides a step-by-step guide to help you transfer your music library and database to your new Innuos server.
However, the correct approach is to Restore your Backup, because not only does this upload all your stored music library again but also important Sense library data such as:
- Saved Favourites in the library
- Playlists
- Playback history (including Recent Tracks widget on home screen)
- New Music chronology
- Radio Presets
- Artist bios and information
Step 1 – Create a backup of your existing Innuos system, whether to an external USB drive or to a NAS.

Step 4 – Ensure you select EXISTING BACKUP during setup.
