Transferring Large Amounts Of Data From Server To Server

Jan 11, 2007

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?

Moving Large Amounts Of Data From One Datacenter To Another

Jul 22, 2008

Scenario: Our website has 3 terabytes of data (photos, database files, etc).

1. How does one move all of this data from one hosting company to another?

2. How does this typically work? Does it involve buying the actual disks?

3. Does this need to be specified in a contract that's signed with the hosting company?

Copying it over the Internet (ftp, sftp, or http) is not an option.

Qmail With Large Amounts Of BCC Recipients Receiving 20 Times The Emails

Jan 5, 2007

Everything on our Qmail installation is working fantastic except for one thing (most of the qmail patches are installed from [url]:

If a user sends an email to several recipients, often times, all users of the list will receive several copies (10 times or more) of the email.

So far I think the situation is that a user sends a weekly update (sort of mini mailing list to 20 users or so) by just adding them as BCC in their outlook.
Then I think one of the 20 emails bounces or throws back a deferral, and then qmail resends the email many many more times not only to the bounced recipient (but also to the entire list of recipients in the BCC)

Transferring Directories Server To Server

Nov 10, 2008

i'm a victim of the Qoozz fiasco. Leslie refuses to answer my emails and help me, so, i'm creating this thread. How can i transfer my files from the affected Qoozz server, without SSH access, to my new server (with SSH access)? I wish to transfer very large directories ('uploads' folder of vBulletin, for example).

I already tried using PHP to zip the directories, but no matter which limits i use, PHP always ceases to work due to memory limits. I also tried using net2ftp to copy the files and also tried using CuteFTP Server-to-Server transfer,

Transferring From 1 Server To Another Using Rsync

Nov 3, 2009

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

Jul 8, 2008

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.

Is it just a case of transferring the SSL license key and cert over? What needs to be added in Apache's httpd.conf file?

Transfer Large Many Files From Server To Server

Oct 23, 2009

In reference to my previous post, i want to tranfer accross 7GB of data, approximatly 80,000 files i believe it is (due to a gallery script).

It's currently on another host (on a webhosting account) which uses their own control panel which has no options but to manage databases, the only way i can see to do this is via FTP but it'll take me days. I've tried using compressing and backup scripts, but the damn execution time on the hosts server is too low to allow the files to be zipped. Are there any ways? Can i login to my VPS via SSH and anyhow pull off the files from the other hosts server?

Large Data Storage And Bandwidth

Jun 5, 2009

Our congregation needs webspace to archive mp3 and mp4 files of the weekly messages. Low mp3 is about 3 MB size. High mp3 is about 20 MB size. mp4 video is about 325 MB size. We would provide links to the files so they could be downloaded - no online streaming is needed. Also no normal website stuff - just file storage space and ability to download by anyone who has the URL links to the files.

1and1.com has 250 GB storage with 2.5 TB/mo bandwidth usage for $10/mo. Their phone rep said this type of use of their web space is OK. I wouldn't even look any further except I've read a lot of bad reviews about them.

Transfer Large Data Files

Jun 15, 2008

I have a debian box, and have archived a gallery in to a .tar file, 5.77gb.

I have a centOS box, and have used wget to bring the data file over to the new server.

However upon doing so it only detects it as 1.8gb when it starts downloading.

I have terminal access to both servers, just trying to bring my files over from one server to another.

Large VBulletin Site -- What Should I Look For In A Server Setup

Apr 17, 2009

I run a large adult vBulletin community with 70,000 members, 1/2 million posts, 186,000 attachments (a lot video), and closing in on 100 million downloads since our start some odd years ago. I've been battling keeping the site up for quite some time, and I am starting to wonder whether we shot too low on the server setup. I figure I would ask the pros here at WHT for some advice.

This is our current setup:

Site server:

Quote:

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz
4 Gig ram
250 Gig sata harddrive
Unix FreeBSD 6.2
Apache

MySQL server:

Quote:

CPU: Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron (2666.62-MHz 686-class CPU)
Cores per package: 4
4 Gig ram
750 Gig SATA harddrive
Unix FreeBSD 6.4
Apache

Do you think the site would perform better under one server and maybe a more powerful processor? What should I be looking at exactly as far as hardware goes for this type of site. I should note we push about 2.5TB of bandwidth monthly.

Dedicated Server With Very Large Storage Capacity

Mar 8, 2008

I have found SL can offer you 12*1 TB drive based systems, after RAID-5 and Win 2003 install you get just over 10 TB of storage. The monthly price works out to $1000/Month.

I know some time ago LeaseWeb offered these type of storages....any one else know of any others ?

Amazon S3 works out to about $1500 for 10 TB
