Hi If you are polling the same targets then why not, when you are happy with the new environment, use the current MRTG log files and let MRTG itself do the conversion to RRD format? By this I mean copy over the MRTG .log files to the new system and let it make the migration. This way you still have the roll-back and are in no danger of losing any historic data.
Make sure your targets and DIR settings are the same between the boxes and it should be painless. (I recently did a very similar thing - although we had far less than 8 years worth!!) Good luck.

My scenario is that I have an older MRTG box with 8 years worth of averages on it, that I need for historical baselining. I am building a new box that will be using RRDTool to watch the entire network. I would like to take that historical data from the old box, and append it to the new data being gathered on the new box.
