There have been quite some database changes between V1 and V2 of the backend and this renders the database of a backend running V1 incompatible with backend V2. The biggest change we made to the database is the way torrents are stored. In V1, torrents were stored as actual .torrent files in a dedicated uploads folder on the backend server. As of V2, all torrents are completely stored in the database.

To make sure all V1 users can move to V2 of the backend, we want to provide some kind of migration script. This script would take a V1 database (dump) and torrent uploads folder as input and should be able to convert this data to a new database dump that is suitable for the backend V2.

We will start working on this script when we believe V2 is in a usable state.
