I am running python server How can backup server and client settings and transfer it to another server? is it possible?

Hello Yes. At first install the proxy on new server, (with my script) and then copy all /opt/mtprotoproxy to the new server and overwrite anything.

@A2116 This script might not work on Centos 8

if I want to upgrade to the new script that supports random padding and I copy all /opt/mtprotoproxy to new server then is the new script will work? or I should only transfer certain files to the new server?

Hello No I will not add backup support to script. You can manually copy the files as said. Also the script supports random padding you have to enable it when it's installing (as I said in your previous issue) Also it's a good idea to copy all of the files to new server.

when I copy all files mtprotoproxy.py also will be copied and I think it's the main file is this lead to revert to the old version or not?

Please note that if you are going to use newer scripts with older MTproto installs, you might brick the config file. So my best suggestion is to copy all of the files including the mtprotoproxy.py and script itself. Now two things:

1. If you are going to upgrade the MTProtoProxy you can do it via script without any worries.
2. If you are going to upgrade the script itself, completely uninstall the MTproto proxy (without backups) and install a fresh one later. I do not grantee that the newer scripts are compatible with the older ones.

my main goal is to keep users and configs and upgrading server so only thing that I need user keys and user limitations

[HirbodBehnam]

As I said, It's a good idea to copy everything including the script.

I copy all /opt/mtprotoproxy content to another place then I copy mtprotoproxy.service and MTProtoProxyInstall.sh to another place then I uninstall it using the script and remove MTProtoProxyInstall.sh file and download the new script using curl then I installed the new script using the same port and other configs and create a new user and add all limitation to it to reproduce config files by comparison of the new and old file, I recognized that the main structure does not change and so I copy config.py and limits_bash.txt and limits_date.json and limits_quota.json content to new files and restart the server everything works fine and all users can connect using their old configurations so I think migration process becomes completely successful
