Hello

I am not sure if I can put this thread in dedicated forum but as it is completely related to dedicated servers I do this. Moderators, please move thread if you think it should be in another forum.

I have 2 Ensim servers (One with 150 sites , the other which is more powerful has only 30). I have decided to move those 150 sites to the other server. I have done this on CPanel and Plain redhat servers but this is my first time on Ensim.

One of them is 3.1.1-27 and 3.1.1-31 and there are some small differences between two systems. for example webalizer has been setup differently on those two servers.

1- Is it possible to use Backup/Restore feature to move those sites?

2- Or I need to create websites on second server and then move files manually? Then I should tar.gz entire site or just html directory? (I prefer to move entire site but I worry of different settings , file locations etc).

2- How about MySQL databases? Do I need to move databases one by one?

3- If I need to move sites manually then what should I do to preserver current passwords etc.?

Any help or comment is appereciated.

Mac
