Update 4: Server Migration

The migration is back on track- well, let’s just say that it stopped choking on the 30Gb plug of emails that some users have in their accounts. I have an email storage file on my laptop that dates back some 15 years and is only 4 GB in size. We will address the excessively large email accounts next, but right now, it is the server migration.

We have all the data moved; we are transferring IP addresses and binding them to the new server. This process will take each site down for less than 30 seconds. Then it will be time to move the firewall and licenses over, and then clean up.

BTW, we kept the name Dixie for this server, since the last time we changed a server’s name, it caused issues with some websites. Lesson learned 🙂
