We have done this many times as servers get replaced . I use the excellent tool rsync. We've actually got such a migration in progress now. I'm moving a server with somewhere arounf 700GB from a SUN/EMC combo to a linux nfs server. Using rsync(s) I can copy all data in about 30hours and keep the new box up to date in much less time.

Good afternoon all,
can someone tell me the best method to copy files from a auto mounting home directory, which comes from a Solaris box, to a linux box. I'm setting up a server on Dell Poweredge 4600 running Linux 7.3 which, when finished, will be where most if not all of our exports will come from. Right now we have cross mounting issues because virtually all of our Suns export a directory - some auto mounting and some through vfstab entries. I would like to do this copy and keep permissions if possible. I will start with my own home directory which comes from a host named g32s2s and copy it to our Dell Linux server and then change the auto mounting database to reflect those changes.
