Hi Jacques,
"no old data" means you're missing the historic data of the sensors or also all devices and sensors? If everything is missing, you might have copied the data from the old server to a wrong path on the new server. The default path in a fresh installation is always C:\ProgramData\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor\ as long as you don't change it with the PRTG Administration Tool. In that folder lies the configuration file and everything else like monitoring database and so on.
Kind regards,
Erhard
