Ok here is the lagistics of what I am trying to acomplish.
I have one raq xtr ( failing like the previous cobalts we bought ) that has about 200 domains on it. I would like to move the domains and data to another machine that I do not have physical access to. Does anyone know of a fairly painless way to do this ?

Thanks you,

Okay let me get this straight... sounds like you want to take the account information off of one machine and install them on another machine located somewhere else.

This should be simple. I of course have not done this but you would think a quality system such as this would have this ability.... It would dump the database and get the files in each account and compress them into a file. You would then take that dbase and the files move them over to the new server and install.

ANyone know how to do this? or if it does??

If the "other" machine you would like to move all sites to is another Cobalt, simply use the CMU migration utility provided by Cobalt. I've done is several times and it's *fairly* good, just have to reinstall FrontPage extensions on all sites (a daily occurance...grr...)

What's a daily occurance? Are you saying that after you used the migration utility, you now have to reinstall the FrontPage extensions on all sites every single day? They uninstall themselves somehow?

I might need to use the migration utility in the not-too-distant future, and I'd be interested in hearing anything you have to say about it.

Reinstalling FrontPage extensions on certain sites seems to be a daily occurance... they tend to "break" easily or whatever...
