After building a new qmail server, I now have to transfer everything. I
have:
- copied /var/qmail/control/* & alias/*
- copied /etc/passwd, shadow, group, tcprules, etc.
(Did I forget anything?)
Now I have to move all user files/dirs to the new server. What is the most
safe/secure way to do this? My thoughts:
- Stop qmail on the old server (allowing a backup server to accept mail).
- Transfer /home to new server:
`scp -rp ..` changed all files/directories to root.root ownership. I have
been told to try rsync or tar - any better ideas or is one of these the way
to go?
- Change DNS MX records
- Start qmail on new server
- ?
TIA
