Heres one way...
1. tar or rsync ~vpopmail onto new machine
2. dump the database using mysqldump ( mysqldump --add-drop-table -u root -p
vpopmail > vpopmail_dump.sql )
3. load the dump into the new machines mysql instance ( mysql -u vpopmail -p
vpopmail < vpopmail_dump.sql )
Heres what I have done in the past:
1. rsync -e ssh -prav /home/vpopmail/ newbox:/home/vpopmail/
2. ssh oldbox "mysqldump --add-drop-table -u root --password=mypass vpopmail
" \
| mysql -u vpopmail -p vpopmail
YMMV
Hope this helps,
