# Copying profiles from older versions of DBSync

Agenda: One of the most frequent concerns following the recent upgrade is how to migrate existing profiles to the new version, ensuring users don’t have to recreate their profiles manually.

In this article, I have taken a relatively older version of the DBSync Replication tool (9.4.5), where all the profiles are present as shown in the screenshot below:

And I have installed a newer version of DBSync Replication tool (9.5.1), where there are no profiles as shown on the image below:&#x20;

Once we install the newer version, there won’t be any profiles present.

To get the old profiles, please follow these steps :<br>

1. Go to the installed directory of the older version. You will find the older profiles under the “profiles” folder: Go to&#x20;

&#x20;\<old version folder>\DBSync\_CloudCDM\dbsync-cdm\WEB-INF&#x20;

2. Copy this folder completely at this folder level and Go to the same path for the newly installed folder :&#x20;

\<new version folder>\DBSync\_CloudCDM\dbsync-cdm\WEB-INF

3. Close the service if it is running.
4. Replace this folder of “profiles” with the folder copied from the older version of the DBSync Replication tool.
5. Once the folder is replaced, you will be able to see another folder named “1,” and inside it you will find other folders with your profile’s name.
6. Now restart the service, and open the DBSync homepage (<http://localhost:8080/dbsync/>), you will be able to see all the profiles of the old version reflected in the new version of the DBSync Replication tool.
