If you don't have a lot of data in your user and ibay directories (less than 2GB), the easiest way is to use "backup to desktop" and "restore from desktop" in the server manager.

Yes i have much more as 2GB..
Is it possible to export the system-database with myadmin?
do it take alll settings?

Michael,

Any dependencies on file system settings ?
Will the "affa move" procedure work on a
500GB Raid1 (prodIP) to a 2TB Raid5 (newIP)
both SME 7.3 ?


Thanks!

No. Except that if you have /, /home/e-smith/files and /var on different devices, affa --rise cannot hardlink across the devices and must copy physically. This works, but takes much more time.

I cannot see any reason why not.
