Re: Backuped configuration file on different NagiosXI versio
1. I would upgrade to 2014, and then to XI 5.
2. Yes and no, the issue is that pre XI 5 used postgres for one of the databases, and XI 5 uses strictly mysql. If you were to install a brand new XI 5 system, and try to import your old data - it would fail due to the postgres. You could spin up a clean 2014 machine though, then upgrade to XI 5, and finally do a backup and restore.
