Got a new Rust server from our provider, I would like to transfer it's stats from the old server to the new server which has a new IP.

Could someone come up with a tutorial?

Kinds regards,

1. Migrate stats

Claim both servers
Go to the old server
Select the new server and migrate the stats to it.

2. Use DNS

Claim old server
Add DNS
Point DNS to new IP when ready to change over

DNS requires same ports on old and new servers.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

Are these 1&2 steps to follow in order to transfer the rank? Or do you mean: solution 1 etc etc or solution 2 etc etc.?

Those are two options. 1 transfers stats. 1 transfers rank and stats.

Could you make a setup for me what to do please?

My old server: https://www.gametracker.com/server_info/108.61.98.6:28016/
New server: https://www.gametracker.com/server_info/173.199.64.109:28016/

Well I already did, but sure I can repeat myself.

1. If you want to just move stats

Go to the old server
Find the migrate stats option
Select the new server
Move

Obviously, since this is Rust, moving just stats wouldn't do much at all.

2. If you want to move rank and stats

Go to the old server
Find the DNS option
Enter your DNS
Point the DNS to the new server when you're ready to switch over.

Could I just fill in my server IP and PORT?

I filled in the DNS I made via GameServers, however nothing is changed.. The rank didn't got to the new one...............

And now my rank will probably decrease since there are no players on the old server...

Per the help messages near the DNS option:

"We resolve the DNS name daily. If this server stops responding to stats requests, then we resolve the DNS name more frequently."

Assuming the DNS has propagated by that time, it should work.
