Greetings: I am wanting to upgrade from one stand-alone machine to another and using the old for a backup machine. I'm also wanting to migrate the music library, Groups, Grids, Clocks, Hosts, etc. to the new machine. So, after some digging around on the forum, I'm thinking I need to:
1. Backup Database as explained in another post here: http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/pipermail/rivendell-dev/2018-September/027135.html 2. Copy all the files from /var/snd on the old machine to /var/snd on the new machine. I currently use rsync -a -v /var/snd/ /[Destination Drive Path]/ to back up to an external hard drive, so I'm supposing I'd just do the same thing in reverse from the external drive to the new machine. 3. Something else??? Also, I'm not sure whether some things I've already done are wrong/unconventional, so I want to make mention of them in case it affects your response. 1. We play seasonal/Christmas music each year. Immediately after Thanksgiving, we play a mix of our normal music list with Christmas music. Closer to Chirstmas we go to all Christmas music, and then back to all normal after the holidays. So to avoid the onerous task of changing all 168 clocks in a weekly grid multiple times a year I created new Hosts on the old machine (ex: Christmas Lite, All Christmas) to provide new grids that I could set up just once and use when needed. 2. After reading some other posts I'm wondering whether I've already made a mistake in naming the host on the new machine. The old machine's host name is rivendell02 (it was once a backup machine that went into service after the primary died). The new one I called rivendell01. My only experience with Linux has been in working on dedicated Rivendell machines. When needing to know how do something outside of Rivendell and the GUI I will generally Google, "how to [do Windows equivalent] on CentOS", which... often works. ;-) So, don't be afraid of "talking down" to me or anything. That's what I need. I've been involved in some Linux disasters in past and am hoping to avoid any such in future, hence the question. Thanks for any help or advice you can give.
