Ah, I knew it, that's why I asked. Please let non *x OSes out of the game. Use either rsync of tar. Something like: on oldbox: cd / tar cpzvf /tmp/cyrus-imapd.tar.gz /etc/cyrus.conf /etc/imapd.conf /var/lib/imap /var/spool/imap scp /tmp/cyrus-imapd.tar.gz newbox:/tmp/ on newbox: cd / service cyrus-imapd stop rm -rf /var/lib/imap/* /var/spool/imap/* tar xzpvf /tmp/cyrus-imapd.tar.gz service cyrus-imapd start HTH Simon --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
