OX Server - Backup and Restore

[paulo.linardi]

Hello everyone,

I have an OpenXchange server (Version 6.8..., OS Ubuntu, with My-SQL and Postfix in another server) and I configurated another one with the same caracteristics.

I need to migrate the users to the new server, and takes its informations too (Contacts, Tasks, Infostore, etc..)

What (directories, files, databases) should I create a backup in the old server and restore it on the new server.

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards

Hi Paulo,

generally you need three things for migration:
* The 'configdb' database (MySQL)
* The 'open-xchange-db' database (MySQL, may be named differently)
* The filestorage at /var/opt/filestore (may be named differently)

This data can be backupped using standard tools like mysqldump and cp. The /opt/open-xchange directory does not contain any user or system data just configuration and program files. Please compare the configuration files after the migration, especially system.properties and configdb.properties.

Greetings
