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.

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!

Regards
Reinhold

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.
