I don't have a zenbackup.py available to me. :/
I am running Zenoss version 0.23.0 right now.
I need to move things over to the Zenoss virtual appliance that I've got
running (1.1.1) on the new box.
Any ideas? Am I going to have to upgrade the version on the old box
before I'll be able to do the backup.. or should I be able to snarf
zenbackup.py from somewhere that will work with version 0.23.0?
Thanks.
(Just a note..current uptime for zope is 98 days, 17 hours, 26 mins.
Stability is a good thing! =D )

Todd,
You can use ${ZENHOME}/bin/zenbackup.py to make a backup .zip file that
contains:
- A copy of your events
- A copy of the device tree
- Performance information (rrd files)
You can run "zenbackup.py --help" to get additional options on what you
can pass to zenbackup.py.
zenbackup.py will produce a tarball, which you can then scp over to the
new machine. You can then use zenbackup.py --restore to expand the
tarball into the zenoss installation.
As for your latter question about a separate zenoss box... Depends on
how many devices you plan to monitor. I monitor about 40 devices and
run zenoss alongside nfs, samba, apache, mt-daapd, mysql, and some other
services.
If you're looking to monitor 500 devices you might want to allocate a
box just to running zenoss. :)

Is there a procedure or a README available about how to properly
migrate Zenoss data from one machine to another?
Also.. am I better off building a box that has Zenoss, and a lot of
other things running on it, or am I better off using the VMWare
appliance? (VMWare is already installed on the box, and installing
the appliance wouldn't be a difficult task.
