Move to a new server

Postby migibtsnet » Tue Nov 20, 2007 7:04 pm

Hi guys!

I have to move my Scalix 11.1.0 to a new server (new hardware). I think this is a good chance to install the new version (I know it is just a minor upgrade but why not).
Both servers are running on Debian Etch - so can anyone tell me the best way to move Scalix without loosing all data? Downtime is no problem - this is just the mailserver for my family ;)

Thanks

Move /var/opt/scalix/??/s (or the whole /var/opt/scalix), preserve permissions and install using the same hostname/IP. Then do an install first, then copy your data over. Worked for me before.

Of course, you are taking backups, I hope ;)
