Title: HTTP Backup
Post by: Brad Jennings on April 10, 2002, 11:34:34 PM

Ok, here's what I'd like to do and I am wondering if this is the way to do it or not.  I've got a test server setup that is just a Pentium 100 with only 32 meg on it.  I was planning on setting up all of my users and such on it, then doing the online backup.....then installing the SME server on a Pentium 3 computer with 128 meg of ram sometime in the future....and restoring the backup to it.  Is this a good idea and/or will this work to just backup the basic server information and users....or will I have to create mailboxes again and such.  

Any help appreciated.

I recently did this, while moving from a P75 junker to a real system.  There were only user accounts and a few custom templates --- but everything moved over to the target machine perfectly.  Since all mail files and home directories were empty, the entire backup file was less than 20k!  I couldn't believe that it really was all of the config info, but it was.  Worked like a charm.
