Move to new server

[stevenospam]

I have RC installed and working well.  Unfortunately I need to move to a new server.  I want to keep the folders with their data and contact list including groups for each user.  I'm researching with the hosting service how to move the mail folders but I could use a HOWTO on how to restore the MySQL database backup so that the contacts and groups for each user get properly migrated.

I do this all the time, for various testing.

New server

• Create blank database
• Grant permissions to a DB user

Old server

• Dump the current database. On Linux, I do this like so:
• $#mysqldump current_db_name > db_dumpfile.sql
• Transfer the dumpfile to the new server

New server

• Load the database from the dumpfile. Again, on Lunux:
• $#mysql new_db_name < db_dumpfile.sql

As long as you are setting up the exact same version of RC on the new server, you are done.
