======<big>Migrate using the Lazy Admin Tools</big>======
*[[Lazy_Admin_Tools#Server_Migration|Lazy Admin Tools]] provide a set of shell scripts that will archive all the important system files and restore them into a newly installed system, this is well documented in the Wiki. The various aspects of the system are saved in different files so that parts can be restored without having to restore all. An example might be to restore the users, but not the domains. It does not backup the data, but the wiki documentation provides sample commands to copy the data from one system to another using scp and/or rsync. All contribs must be re-installed, and any associated data (usually in /home/e-smith/db configuration files) maybe be copied across as required.
