Question.....Now that the server is up and running smooth, unfortunately I've noticed it's not quite powerful enough....I would like to put it on a stronger machine.....I don't suppose it's as easy as just moving the hard drive from one tower to the next? I know that would never work on a windows setup, but wasn't sure about linux(ubuntu)/iredmail
Thanks in advance,
Luke

Re: New Tower

If you can get Linux server booting up and running, why is it impossible?

Re: New Tower

I've looked at the "Backup/Restore" document, but I'm wondering if I wanted to migrate my server to a newer tower, can I just use rsync to move everything to the new tower using the following command line

rsync -aAXv --exclude={"/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found"} / /path/to/backup/folder

NO.
