You could create an image of the server using Arconis (http://www.acronis.com) and restore it your new hardware.
One thing I have been using lately is virtual machines. Using MS virtual servers and Arconis - you can create a virtual machine and then using Arconis make a backup and restore it to a physical machine, or take a physical machine and restore it to a virtual machine. Great for making backups. Duane -----Original Message----- From: Ben Doom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2007 4:36 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: migrating server? mirror? I'm in a similar situation -- we're moving from one set of servers to another. Here's my plan in general: 1) Set up new boxes as much like the old ones as possible 2) Put up a maintenance sign on the old ones. 3) Make whatever final changes to the new servers you need (update database, files, etc.) 4) Change DNS HTH --BenD morchella wrote: > ok.. how the heck do i move IIS configs CFserver settings as well as > MSsql servers to a new box? > where do i start? > > they want me to copy every thing onto a 500 gb hdd and manually move it? > ideas please... > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:248584 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
