Topic: Switch from a broken server to a fresh new one

[Sylvain]

Hi Guys,
I wish to replace my broken server by a fresh new one, but I do not want to recreate all users account. What are the files I have to backup and what do at the command line?

Thanks for your help

Do a backup, and restore it to a fresh install on the new hardware.

After a fresh new instakllation of SME 5.5, I wish to retreive users account only from my broken SME 5.5 server. I do not want to backup everything and restore everything on my new server cause I would come back to the same point :-!

There is many phpportal and contribs I want to get rid by this migration.

Thanks

Sylvain

Doesnt a backup, from the server-manager, only save user accounts and ibays, not all the rest?

At least thats what I thought?
