I wouldn't do it with rdiff-backup. However, if you did want to do it that way for some reason, backup the files from the old server and restore to the new one (have I missed something?). I would set up the new server with all the required software, /ensure/ that the group and user ids are the same between the two systems (this just makes life easier), and do either: oldsys # tar -C /var/www -cf - . | ssh newsys tar -C /var/www -xvf - (or use rsync or scp) and repeat for each tree of files you want to replicate. _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
