===Manually transferring configuration information===
 +
 +
If you wish to manually transfer configuration information from an old server to a new server you can use the following steps. All the files listed below are required as user information & passwords is contained in many different locations.
 +
 +
 +
On the old server do the following to dump the mysql tables to a file in /home/e-smith/db/mysql/:
 +
 +
signal-event pre-backup
 +
 +
 +
Copy all the following files & folders from the old server to the new server preferably using the tar command, see usage examples & syntax above in the section "Copying data to the restored server".
 +
You can exclude ibay & user data if preferred by moving that data to /temp (see steps in above section "Procedure")
 +
This list is based on the requirements of sme7.2:
 +
 +
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom
 +
/etc/e-smith/templates-user-custom
 +
/etc/group
 +
/etc/gshadow
 +
/etc/passwd
 +
/etc/samba/secrets.tdb
 +
/etc/samba/smbpasswd
 +
/etc/shadow
 +
/etc/smbpasswd
 +
/etc/ssh
 +
/etc/sudoers
 +
/home/e-smith
 +
/root
 +
 +
and add in
 +
/opt
 +
if you have stuff installed there.
 +
 +
 +
After copying all the required files to the new server you need to run the following commands on the new server:
 +
 +
signal-event post-upgrade
 +
reboot
 +
 +
