Motivation
Jet is our database backend for Plastic SCM, it's super fast and requires less maintenance than MySql and SQLServer. Jet is a file system database, and you don't need to install third party software to support it, everything comes inside the Plastic SCM Server.

How to migrate your current repositories
The new Plastic SCM Server WebAdmin interface supports the database backend migration. Browse "serverName:7178" and select "Repository storage":
The "Repository Storage" will show your current database backend. The picture below shows "MySQL" and all the related configuration. Notice there's a "Change storage" button, click it to start the migration wizard.
"Jet" is the default option, choose a custom "Database path" is you want to store the database files at a custom directory.
The "Change storage" button will start the migration operation.
Once the migration ends, the Plastic SCM starts using the Jet backend, no restart needed.
