We run 2 mirrored Surgemail servers and have come to the point where we are ready to update to a new primary server.

�

We�re currently setting up the new server as the slave. I just wanted to check that we are following all the steps to copy all the data from our existing server.

Setup the new system as a slave to the master server in the config on the new system, then:

�

issue "tellmail resync_config" on master (if using g_mirror_config)- we are, so yes.

issue "tellmail surgehost_update" on master

issue "tellmail resync_nwauth"' on master (if using nwauth) � we are, so yes.

issue "tellmail resync_fast" on master
issue "tellmail resync_mkdir" on master

That looks good.

�

Are there any other steps or files that need to be copied? 

�

I noticed there are some large folders /usr/local/surgemail/

/usr/local/surgemail/surgeweb

And

/usr/local/surgemail/usr

Do these folders need to be copied over?

No they shouldn't be needed, surgeweb folders are just caches so not needed.

I don't know what /usr/local/surgemail/usr is, check surgemail.ini for references to it, it's not standard so I"m not sure what it includes..

The other things you might want to copy manually
��� 1) mailing list folders (surgemail/dlist...)
��� 2) ssl certificates (surgemail/ssl...)
��� 3) any archives (legal archive settings/path)...
