I have about 800GB of data to transfer, both servers are using DirectAdmin.
If I am able to transfer at 10mbit, how long would that take for 800GB?
I suppose I need to install rsync on both servers.
How do I preserve directory structure, owner, permissions?
What is the exact command to type?
I have read another recently created thread about their woes but this is a separate issue so I figured it deserved a separate thread.
Here is my problem.
I am transferring my site, osrec.com from my old server to
Hostgator.
The old server is quite primitive and I am using this piece of crap:
Matrix Hosting Appliance Control Panel v2.0-33
I have hardly any control or options.
I am using Joomla 1.5....but my concern is that the MYSQL database will not be compatible.
I am also concerned about downtime...What if they transfer and it isn't compatible, am I then stuck with a site that won't function properly. Is there a way of transferring it to another domain hosted with Hostgator first?
Has anyone transferred a Joomla site over to Hostgator? have you any advice?
I know, a lot of questions and not really structured. Fact is, I have never experienced this before and so this is my first time facing it.
I'd contact Hostgator, but....ya know...their technical support is useless.

Currently i want to transfer my site to new server :
1. I go to site cpanel -> backup
click on "Download a home directory Backup " and "Download a MySQL Database Backup"

browse the zip file and upload it, for mysql database same, browse zip file and upload it..
Then problem come, after i have done, i go to cpanel->MySQL database, i can found my database is there, but all the mysql user is lost, I try it again and again.. but the result is same.
I am trying to transfer my Vb database to another server but I am getting error.
Here's what I did.
1. I exported my old database to my old server to my PC.
2. I imported my database to my new server (different domain)
Now I cannot continue because different errors occur. Please tell me the correct process to do this.
Recently I changed server providers, so now I'm looking for a way to transfer all the data to my new server. I have a total of 420GBs of files in my secondary HDD that need to be transferred.
The old server is at a 10Mbps line, the new one is at a 100Mbps one. From old server, less than half the pipe is being actively used. So theoretically, I should be able to transfer it all in about a week.
I tried
1) SCP. That was waaay too unreliable. And I couldn't get it to restart from the point left on whenever the transfer stopped (like when the servers were restarted).
2) Transfer using a web script. Way too slow, got to about 35GBs, total would take like 2 months.
Is there any other, reliable way of transferring data from server to server?

The backup program (cpbackup) that comes with WHM/Cpanel is not ideal for our current situation. We have lots of third party applications installed on our server along with many customized configuration files. We need a solution that will backup everything and allow for fairly simple restoration.
How viable is rsync for full server backups? Can it handle 100 GB of data?
More importantly, how would you restore the backup to a new server? If the new server already has an OS the restored files would break the system, right?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to run Rsync to sync a folder from an FTP server - which I have limited access too with my server.

I am going to backup the whole server. (Rsync)
I understood it is not efficient to backup the local "backup" folder to avoid duplicated backups.
1. Should I exclude additional folders from the backup process?
2. I noticed it is familiar to exclude the "proc" folder also ... Why?
At work, we have a windows 2003 server.
We have a set of files that get modified from day to day.
Since they know I own a dedicated server (Linux) they ask me if it would be possible to have an offsite backup on my server of the set of files on the windows 2003 server.
Also, I dont want to have the whole files set to be uploaded everyday.
I am aware of rsync on *nix system, but do you have any suggestions on how to proceed with a windows 2003 server to a unix server?
I am having some issues here. I had a reseller account and decided to go to a dedicated box. My question is, what would be the easiest way to transfer all the account over.
I do not have root access on the resellers account so it is making it kind of difficult.
I did some research and found a way I think you can do but please correct me if I am wrong.
Can it be done by going under my dedicated roots access and clicking on the "transfer an account from another server using password"?
Also, Would I have to wait until all files are transfered to set my custom nameservers IP addy.

One of my sites is currently hosted on an IIS server. It has an SSL certificate that the host has setup and they've placed a .PFX file for that certificate in my root directory.
I would like to transfer that site to my new server that runs cPanel/WHM. What is the easiest way to go about doing this? Do I require the co-operation of my previous (IIS) host to do it, or can I do it on my own? And is there a simple way to do it since I have cPanel/WHM installed?
