That's great Jason, thanks for those pointers.

Richard,
It's always a good idea to tar up your whole $ZENHOME directory, just in
case, before doing something like this.
zenbackup.py will create a tarball that includes your $ZENHOME/etc,
$ZENHOME/perf, zeo data and mysql database. You can later use the
--restore and --file flags to have zenbackup.py restore that data.
zenbackup.py --help will give you some info on usage.
So to do a clean install of zenoss via svn while preserving your data
the steps are something like this:
1. stop zenoss
2. tar up your $ZENHOME dir and stick it someplace safe.
3. Maybe also do a mysqldump of your mysql data and stash it away too.
(make sure to use --routines flag)
4. Run zenbackup and use --file to specify a location outside $ZENHOME
(/tmp/zenbackup.tgz, for instance.)
5. Delete or rename your $ZENHOME dir
6. create a new $ZENHOME with appropriate ownership
7. do a fresh checkout of inst somewhere other than within $ZENHOME
8. run inst/install.sh
9. stop zenoss
10. run zenbackup with the --restore option and using --file to point at
the backup file from step 4.
11. start zenoss
That's off the top off my head. As long as you have the dumps from
steps 2 and 3 you can always get back to your original state in case
things go awry.

Have a look at the $ZENHOME/bin/zenbackup.py script. It will create a
backup tarball for you in $ZENHOME/backups.

Hello
What is the best way of migrating the configuration of Zenoss to a new
system, a backup of the current system and restore to a new system, is
this possible?
Cheers
Richard
