Pulled an all niter and I am back up from scratch. Never could get the BX 
5209 to install. It always said it needed more HD space. Same message after 
increasing the drive size to 750gb. When I installed for a smaller system, 
it installed, but the GUI had a lot of different errors and would not allow 
me to add the second NIC. So I installed the latest ISO of 5208, then did a 
YUM update.
Unfortunately I had to restore the hard way. CMU would not restore without 
cmu.xml being present. I wish there was a work around, as there are so many 
message threads about the same error. So I unzipped all the backup files, 
then manually added the domains and users and FTP'd all the website files.
 
Is there a way to use CMU like RaQBackup for a daily backup. I always run 
backups. But would love to have a cmu.xml file so CMU would work to 
restore. It was a piece of cake when I migrated my servers to 5208R from 
the previous version, using CMU. 
Thanks for everyone's input.
