Hi Todd,
Great uptime!
You are right you'll be able to get the latest zenbackup and use it
on your instance. Before doing anything tar up your $ZENHOME.
OK, so you need to download three files from the trunk
http://dev.zenoss.org/trac/browser/trunk/bin
zenbackup.py
zenrestore.py
zenbackupcommon.py
Put these files in your bin directory and try it out. It should work.
Let me know if that works for you.

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.
Thanks,
