[Chandran Manikandan]

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your advice.
Yes, you are right.
It's too big size of the hard disk. It's taking time.
Better i try above your suggestion and steps.
May i know the same process also for new hard disk upgrade with the same
machine.
Basically those folders need to transferred from old hard drive to new hard
drive.
May i said right.

Thanks guys for your help always.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Email server migration

[Eric Broch]

If your method works don't use ours. The only reason I changed was 
because my /home/vpopmail/domains directory was so big took 1 full day 
to backup and 1 full day to restore. I also changed because some of the 
directories changed between QMT on CentOS 5 and QMT on CentOS 7.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Email server migration

[Eric Broch]

The linux command, "hostname", with backticks, i.e.,`hostname`, called 
command substitution, allows output of a command to be stored in another 
context, in this case the variable 'HOSTNAME'.


If I run the command "hostname" (below) at the prompt I get the following:

# hostname
myhost.mydomain.com

If I run the command "HOSTNAME=`hostname`" (below) at the prompt the 
output is stored in the variable 'HOSTNAME' (another context).


# HOSTNAME=`hostname`

# echo $HOSTNAME
myhost.mydomain.com

/var/lib/squirrelmail
/usr/share/squirrelmail
/etc/spamassassin/*.cf
/etc/spamassassin/.spamassassin
/etc/tcprules.d
/var/qmail/users

4) Import mysql database in new machine
mysql -uroot -p vpopmail < ./vpopmail.sql

5) Copy any file in /var/qmail/control/ that you want. (usually 
not necessary)


6) Copy any run setting that you want. (usually not necessary)

7) Make sure if you use testing and development repos 
(DomainKeys dropped in development) to check run authentication 
run settings (export SMTPAUTH="!+cram")


8) stop and start qmail

Hi Biju,

Thanks for your help and steps.

Can i use the qt-backup script to take all the backup in old

Then move this compress file into new server to qt-restore command.

Anyone have any idea about this?

And one more doubt.

Can i use the same procedure for Hard disk upgrade from old 
hard disk to new hard disk in the same machine or any other 
simple step there?


Thanks in advance.

The `hostname` is a short hand for $(hostname). It basically reads the 
hostname. 

Example: 
echo $(hostname)

OK - no problem - on the second question what is supposed to go into 
HOSTNAME=`hostname` ? Is it 'localhost' or the server's actual host name?

That authentication line is for the development

qmail-authentication-0.8.3

4) Import mysql database in new machine
mysql -uroot -p vpopmail < ./vpopmail.sql

5) Copy any file in /var/qmail/control/ that you want. (usually not 
necessary)


6) Copy any run setting that you want. (usually not necessary)

7) Make sure if you use testing and development repos (DomainKeys 
dropped in development) to check run authentication run settings 
(export SMTPAUTH="!+cram")


8) stop and start qmail

Hi Biju,

Thanks for your help and steps.

Can i use the qt-backup script to take all the backup in old server?
Then move this compress file into new server to qt-restore command.

Anyone have any idea about this?

And one more doubt.

Can i use the same procedure for Hard disk upgrade from old hard 
disk to new hard disk in the same machine or any other simple step 
there?


Thanks in advance.

Hi Biju,

Thanks for your help and steps.

Can i use the qt-backup script to take all the backup in old server?
Then move this compress file into new server to qt-restore command.

Anyone have any idea about this?

And one more doubt.

Can i use the same procedure for Hard disk upgrade from old hard disk to
new hard disk in the same machine or any other simple step there?

Thanks in advance.

1. Setup new server

2. Create a new domain ( vadddomain) and import the MySQL table of that domain 
from the old server. 

3. RSync the mail folder from the old to the new

rsync -arvz -e 'ssh -p 8022' –progress 
r...@oldserver.com:/home/vpopmail/domains/domain1.com/ 
/home/vpopmail/domains/domain1com

4. Change the DNS for domain1 to point to the new server.
