does backup to desktop backup everything configuration and data from ibays and user files ?
Yes, but be warned of the 2GB limit if backuping via server-manager
Thanks for that, and what about any RPM's I've installed
I guess I'm not sure what steps to take, I've backed up to desktop
Now I want to install the new HD and SME fresh install, but should I restore from backup before doing any updates that may be available?
And what about any RPM's that I've installed Like the updated horde stuff ?
I am hoping I can install SME 7.1 fresh install then restore from backup and all my rpm's and files are restored ?
Is that it or is there something else will I have to re-install all the RPM's and things ?
