ASL 7.4xx upgrade/replace hardware

Stupots
All,

Here's a hypothetical question...

If I had an ASL server and I wanted to either replace the disks or the server as a whole, does anyone have a procedure whereby I could either:

1) Copy database files en-masse to preserve user history

or

2) Copy across all of the logs and force the server to rebuild the database a-la 7.3 to 7.4 upgrade?

Also, is there a way I can preserve my mail quarantine?

Note I don't want to go down the route of using dd to clone disks and then extending partitions and file systems

Regards,
Stuart

    I think you would have to perform a manual backup on the old system.

    Install 7.3 on the new system.

    Do a restore on the new system.

    Test functionality.

    Upgrade to 7.4 and cross fingers like crazy...

    If you don't need to reuse the old Astaro box, why not just leave it online but with a different internal IP and disconnect the External interface?  That would allow people to use the End User Portal on the old Astaro and pick up their quarantined emails without disrupting the use of the new Astaro.

    Search here on syslog server and see if you can't get the logs off with that.  If you are successful in transferring the log files to the new unit, please post your experience here.

    Cheers - Bob
