Q: How to duplicate Database with annotation?

Hello everyone, I use Final Cut Server as an archive (all devices link to an external HD), I have about 2000 clip with their associated annotations. Now I need to duplicate my entire database to view it from another machine installed with final cut server (not as a client, just like new "server "). I duplicated the entire contents of my external HD, I configured the new machine with final cut server (equal to other), but now I see all media there are no annotations. I wanted to know if there was a way to spend all my annotation database on another final cut server with the same materials!
I hope I was clear, sorry for English.
Thanks in advance

    In System Preferences (Apple menu), in the FCSvr System Preferences pane, do a Backup of the FCSvr database. This makes a file, and you can tell FCSvr to write it to the Desktop.

    Take that file to the new machine, and then do a Restore.
