Thats wrong. The name (and description in the man page) is a little bit misleading ("rrdxport - Export data in XML format based on data from one or several RRD") You should use rrdtool dump and rrdtool restore to convert databases. rrddump - dump the contents of an RRD to XML format rrdrestore - restore the contents of an RRD from its XML dump format So you should run: rrdtool dump rrd_on_old_host.rrd > rrd_on_old_host_dumped.xml and restore them on the new host via: rrdtool restore rrd_on_old_host_dumped.xml rrd_on_new_host.rrd Easy, isn't it? ;) Hope that helps, Andreas. -- Dipl.-Ing.
