I am installing a new flame and want to find the fastest and easiest way to move projects from my old flame to the new one. I know I can archive and restore. Is there a way to just drag a project from 1 box to the next? ---

at least in our infrastructure, it is faster to archive/restore than to wire. There is a bug which we haven’t reported, the makes the Wire go at 100MB/s speed instead of the 25Gb fiber that all the machines are connected at. ---

I agree with @ALan archive your project and then do a project restore. There is a way to wire from one machine to the next. In MediaHub you can select the project tab and see if you can see your other Flame. ![wireProject](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thedepartmentofexternalservices/original/2X/b/b84ad0e1cec1f329a75c992f927c1fb537861776.png) It has been a while since I have done it this way but it seems you can only grab segments like the Desktop or a Library so the archive would be a much better way to go. ---

Is this a new thing in 2023? ---

There is a bug which we haven’t reported, the makes the Wire go at 100MB/s speed instead of the 25Gb fiber that all the machines are connected at. 100MB/s wire sounds brutal. I’m in the other camp, wiring at 40GB/s but I’ve yet to see an archive server that can handle multiple flames writing out at that speed. ---

Yeah… but we rarely need to do that since we use a central project server. Really only times we have had to wire is when we switched from one old S+W server to a new one. That’s why I never bothered to follow up with support. ---
