New subject: [SLE] Transferring the stored data from one server to a new one

26 Jan 2003


      Hi, all thanks for the advice.  I am not so sure how much data has to 
be transfered, I suppose is everything, email accounts, user accounts, 
etc.  I will take a look today, because they called me yesterday night 
asking me for help so we will work today afternoon on that.  So I am not 
really sure what is in the server and what should be transfer but I 
think is a lot of information, almost all.

Thanks

Jose

cd /mnt
mkdir newserver
cd "what you want to copy to new server" (but not "/", else you will overwrite the new installation)
find ./* -xdev | cpio -pdv /mnt/newserver/"where you want old data to end up"
This will preserve all file ownership, dates and permissions.
Make sure you analyze what and where you want to copy FROM and TO, so that it ends up at the same place on the new server.
