is it possible to clone a cobalt drive and restore on a standard box, in the same way that you can use nortons ghost to backup and restore your pc....

alternatively is there a way to move domains from a cobalt rq4 to a linux server with plesk installed on it.....i have about 5 raqs i need to migrate to standard linux boxes.

thanx

I have to move some domains to a plesk box and the only thing I can think of doing is the ol' tar and feather.

the problem with that is that things start to get messy when it comes to cgi scripts as an example, paths change, also frontpage uploaded sites also give problems when you move them, so ideally i want to grab the whole image of the coblat drive and load it onto a new linux box, now this obvilously has some implications as i am sure coblat would not be too happy about this, but at this point i just need to get it done..........the guys at plesk propose that i install plesk over the cobalt box and then use standard plesk backup to move over to a plesk box, has anyone actually done this before

thanx everyone
