I would like to upgrade us to the latest community edition of Scalix 11.4.5. We are currently running 11.4.1.
I think there are several ways to do this. I personally think the cleanest way to do it would be to migrate the user's mailboxes (7) to a fresh install of 11.4.5. Plus I'm trying to get my Scalix server off of bare metal into a VM. Right now I back up all the user mailboxes daily within a script with:
Code: Select all
sxmboxexp -u "${user}" -a ${MBOXDIR}/"${user}".mbox
Now since I have all the mailboxes in the scalix mbox dump format, I think I can create all the user mailboxes in the fresh install and then simply pump each user's mailbox into the new mailbox with:
Code: Select all
sxmboximp -a /path/to/file/user.mbox --user "John Doe"
Can I please get anyone's opinion if doing this will turn out successful or if there is a more preferred method. I just know that upgrading can get real messy and I would like to keep my new install as clean as possble.
Thanks,
Brian
