Hi there,

might somebody recommend a good way to migrate user and web files to our new server?

???

tar and scp work well for me



okay might you recommend a good command structure?

Sorry I am dense but I just tar up whatever directories (user, web, whatever) and then use scp to copy them to the new server where I use tar to undue them. I don't quite understand your question

man tar
man scp

% tar cpf archive.tar <userdir>
scp over
% tar xpf archive.tar


there are cooler ways of doing this. there will be people on this list that know what I am talking about. I will await their responses.

things like rdiff-backup could be useful since I can prep everything and periodically move things over and then on a flag day switch the IPs.

cheers,

Noah




Cheers,
