Backup/Restore question

kevinb
Hey all, quick question. If I move Astaro to a machine with different hardware and restore the backup from the original machine, will that try and restore the NIC hardware config as well? I'm moving to new hardware and it has different NIC's and I don't want to have to rebuild all my filter/nat lists by hand if I don't have to. But I'm afraid if it restores the NIC info as well I wont be able to gain access to the box again and will have to reinstall everything. Anyone know exactly what the backup contains? TIA to all.

    You shouldn't have any problem.  You might have to figure out which interfaces are internal and external, but the hardware shouldn't affect the configuration backup.

    Cheers - bob

    Thanks Bob. I just finished the new setup so I'll try and restore a backup from the old systems and see what happens. [;)]

    As long as you have an equal number of, or more, NICs in the new machine, all should be fine with your restore.  Make sure your new machine is loaded with the same version, or newer, build of ASG before attempting the restore.
