Title: Migration from 6.0.1 to 7
Post by: jpib on June 12, 2006, 11:28:18 AM

Hi,

I plan to migrate my server to a new one (new hardware).
Do you think I can safely follow this procedure :

1/ Backup on my PC using the "backup" SME panel on my SME 6 box
2/ Install a fresh SME 7 on my new box
3/ Restore on this new box from my PC using the SME "backup" panel

Is it as simple as that ? Will I get back all my users data and configuration on the new box ?
Thanks for your help,
jpib

You probably want to checkout the notes in the sticky post Upgrading vs new install + restore (http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=30745.0)
