I've seen asked before and googling does not help. Here's how I just switched over a server from ide to a compag dl380 with smart array 3200 scsi card.
Install base system on target machine. Install webmin On running server, install webmin. go to system/file-system backup make a backup to the local machine in /backup include these directorys /etc /var /usr /root /home /sbin In "Backup to file or tape device" I put /backup/backup In "extra command line perimeters" I put --exclude=/etc/fstab --exclude=/etc/network When done, fish or scp the file to the target machine to a directory called /backup example scp line scp (source) destination scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:\backup\backup /backup/ Now on the target machine open webmin go to system/filesystem backup - choose restore In "file or tape device" put /backup/backup restore file permissions = yes Then restore and reboot the machine... ****** Now then, folks may tell you, you don't need things like sbin or maybe /var/spool. Courier imap complained about sbin and postfix complained about spool.. There has to be better ways of doing this, but this is what FINALLY worked for me.
