easy way to back up files for recovery the server

<< < (2/5) > >>

Stefano:
log in as admin into your old server
you should see a "perform backup to USB device"
follow the instructions (you need an USB disk..)

then, on the new server, perform a restore
read here first:

http://wiki.contribs.org/Backup_server_config#Restore_on_initial_reboot_after_fresh_OS_install_-_How_to_Reset_option

or, alternatively, here:

Stefano:
you should see the "previous errors" too..

in any case, find an usb disk and use the console "backup to usb"

P.S. you should know tha "it doesn't work" without any evidence/log is useless

mgb:
find an usb disk and use the console "backup to usb"
my data is 0.5t
The server is not able to connect USB-DISK large 1T.
All versions 7.8.9 SME.
So there is a problem backing up large files.

If I understand correctly you are saying that your hw doesn't support large HD? seriously?
any evidence/log of it? can you share any info about your hw specs?


--- Quote ---All versions 7.8.9 SME.

--- End quote ---

then it seems to me you have a (serious) HW issue.. just guessing..

--- End quote ---

and we have the problem you are not telling us anything usefull to help you.. only "it doesn't work".. no log, nothing

in any case, let's start from the beginning

post the output of

--- Code: ---config show backupwk

--- End code ---

from your SME 7.6 server.. (remember to hide username/passwords)

mgb, once more, you really need to be more verbose with us if you want help
