Hi David,
Thanks for all your help. If I install E-Box on a new server and restore the full backup script straight afterwards, arent the users identities (SID) going to stay the same? How can I prevent the SID from changing? Has anyone else had this issue where you need to upgrade servers and copy over the identities? Please help urgently Johan _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Meireles Sent: 06 May 2008 10:58 AM To: eBox users Subject: RE: [Ebox-user] Moving to a new server You can copy your profiles manually through scp. But if your domain or user's SID changes, those profiles won't be any good to you... Anyway, try it out first on the new server run: scp -r <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/samba /home/samba Ter, 2008-05-06 às 09:30 +0200, Johan Boshoff escreveu: Hi, I also thought that the full backup will backup everything but my full backup is only 6Mb and I have a lot of users with roaming profiles of larger than 1Gb on the server. How will I get that data to the new server? Sorry, I forgot to mention that my Ebox is configured as PDC.

Full backup stores not only the configuration settings but also the file shares, mail boxes and more... Once you perform the backup, you have an special share folder called "ebox internal backups" or something like that (I don't remember) to get that backup. On the new server, just restore the backup. To do so, you can previously upload the backup to the same share folder and then from the eBox GUI perform the full backup restore. Hope this helps. _______________________________________________ Ebox-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.warp.es/mailman/listinfo/ebox-user _______________________________________________ Ebox-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.warp.es/mailman/listinfo/ebox-user
