- Make sure the source and destination servers are running the Administration Process.
- Make sure that you have Create Database access in the Server document of the destination server and at least Manager with "Delete documents" access in the ACL of the databases on the source server.
- Make sure that the source server (or another server that replicates with the source server and has a replica of the database) has Create Replica access in the ACL of the destination server.
- Make sure the destination server has at least Reader access in
the ACL of the replica on the source server.Tip: You can specify server access in an ACL, and use a Server document to set Create replica databases access.

- From the Domino Administrator, click the Files tab.
- In the files pane, select one or more databases to move.
- Press CTRL and drag the selected databases to a destination server in the server pane.
- In the dialog box that appears, select Move database, select a folder on the destination server in which to store the database(s), then click OK.
