Apologies if this has been answered before but I don’t want to spend another week like a puppy chasing its tail trying to figure this one out.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My dilemma is this.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I currently have a working 5209R server set up with all packages bundle. Its on a HP Proliant server circa 2012, populated with four drives in a raid setup. One of them has failed. The thing is still up and kicking.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My secondary server which I have only just put back into service (its raid battery died, its another Proliant circa 2008) for about a week been trying to load 5209R onto it and only just finding out its raid controller is incompatible with Centos 7 (it basically cant see the hard drives in the box from something legacy that was left out of Centos 7). So I loaded it with 5208R. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>There are only four domains on the server, no mission critical mysql databases that those websites depend on, but the mailboxes are my criteria.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Is it possible to do backup and restore from a 5209R box to a 5208R ?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Im intending if it is possible to restock the limping 5209R box with all brand new server drives so will be doing the backup restore if the above is possible .<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Part of the dilemma is that the server location for the 5208R box is about 300 kilometres from here once I get it over there, so looking at doing a wee hours shutdown on a weekend to do the backup/restore.. Just don’t want to drive 600+ kms if it isn’t going to work.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Any insight very much appreciated guys.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> John<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
