Transferring From 1 Server To Another Using Rsync
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?

Transferring Site To New Server
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.

Transferring Large Amounts Of Data From Server To Server
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?

Using Rsync To Backup An Entire 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?

Rsync Some Files From Windows To A Linux Server
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?

Run Rsync To Sync A Folder From An FTP Server
I want to run Rsync to sync a folder from an FTP server - which I have limited access too with my server. 1. Do I have to have rsync installed on the server with the FTP too, as I won't be able to do that as it is not my server. 2. Is Rsync easy enough to get up and running and set it to run every 24hours?

Transferring Sites
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.

Transferring Domains With Nameservers
I currently have a domain at Network Solutions and I am going to transfer that domain to Godaddy. I also have 2 nameservers that I am running associated with that domain (ns1.mydomain.com & ns2.mydomain.com) that are also registered with Network Solutions. My question is what happens to those nameservers when the transfer takes place? Will Network Solutions remove them from their database at that time? My concern is when the transfer happens there will be no nameservers registered at Godaddy and my sites will be down. Anyone know how that works?

Transferring Hosting Plus New Site
I have agreed to update website A (with url A) on host A. Both are rubbish. I would like to build the new site with host B for various reasons (essentially I want / need more than one 50Mb database). If I build the new site B on host B under a temporary URL, I'll then need to transfer the domain from host A to host B. So my questions are: How easy is it to transfer url A to host B and to point to site B? What will happen to the approx. 70 email addresses on host A? Will I have to manually recreate them at host B and any emails stored on the server will be lost?

Transferring Hosting Accounts Between Control Panels
I just want to provide what it takes to change hosting company or moving from one to another. Here is 10 steps how you can do it. Please correct me if I forgot something or I am totally wrong (wing-wong) 1.Identify a web hosting company that provides the features and services most suitable for you. 2.Order an appropriate hosting package from the supplier. 3.Use the Control Panel facilities to manage your email boxes and such like. 4.Begin the transfer of your domain or change the domain records and change email settings if required (your new web hosting supplier should provide guidance and support to make this as simple as possible). 5.Copy all your files from your previous web hosting service. 6.Upload the files to your new hosted web space. 7.Transfer any databases required for your website. 8.Check that all files have been copied and uploaded successfully. 9.Test functionality and content related to any databases. 10.If you have not done so already, cancel your previous hosting service. By the way I think that the most biggest problem is to know how to get moving from one to another hosting that’s why people always thinks that they will stick to one hosting company and forget all major problems with that company (downtimes, long servers maintenance and etc.)… I am trying to analyze cPanel, DirectAdmin and Plesk and will provide all (as much as I can) information regarding how to transfer your website.

Transferring A Site To Site5 - Any Other Host Recs
I'm trying to transfer a site(that I did not create) that is written in PHP4 and uses global variables from MediaTemple as we have been having extremely slow performance over the last 6 months. The site is database drive and uses an SSL certificate with PayQuake to handle membership. We tried MediaLayer but had too many problems. Then I placed a copy of my own test site on Site5 and it all worked great. So, we created a new account and are trying to move the code over there. Basically, I have functions (accordion menus) and a search function (the form isn't passing the field to the action URL) that are not working. Site5 isn't being very helpful. I'm getting extremely frustrated. And yes, I know I should get rid of the globals but it's a complicated site and we want to get it moved before we start messing with the code. Is there a webhosting company out there that is helpful in getting these kinds of weird issues straightened out? Or do I just need to slog through? I'm a programmer (ASP, .NET, Java, PHP) but my weakness is in configuration of servers - the whole hardware/network side of things so I'm not great with the intricacies of web server hosting.

Rsync Instructions
I have been trying to setup rsync on my server and following these instructions http://www.bqbackup.com/setup.html The problem is I keep getting errors. On this step, ssh-keygen -t rsa -N I edited it and did ssh-keygen -t rsa --N becauseI got an error saying it need the '--' before the N. So after getting through that part, I got these questions asked Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa. Your public key has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. The key fingerprint is: I left the passphrase empty, and then when it asked where to save to, I just typed in 'rsa'. Then it gave me some fingerprint. Then I get to the step, # scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub yourusername@yourusername.bqbackup.com:keys/server1 # ssh yourusername@yourusername.bqbackup.com mergekeys But I get errors saying -bash: cat~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub: No such file or directory I dont get what I'm doing wrong. If somebody doesnt mind, can you please re-write the steps on getting this working, or maybe tell me where I am going wrong if the tutorial is correct?

Rsync And Passphrase
I'm trying to configure rsync to backup my vps data to an rsync backup provider. The problem that I am having is that each time I try to run rsync it prompts for the passphrase. I did some reading and it seems (and maybe this is not correct), that in order to do unattended rsync (e.g. using cron), that you need to use a key that doesn't have a passphrase generated. If this is the case, is it true that it's not a good idea to use a key that doesn't have a passphrase?
