Migrating from on Zimbra Server to another.

[myles]

I am going to move my Zimbra server over to a much powerful computer in a few days. I just wanted to make sure that I go about this right... I am going to convert it by installing the same Operating System (Fedora Core 4) then rsync directory /opt/zimbra from the old server to the new. Then I am going to just upgrade it. Will this work?

I suggest installing the same version that you currently have installed on pre-existing server on destination server. After that is done, shut down zimbra on the destination server, and overwrite it with the /opt/zimbra from the original server. Then do whatever upgrading needs to be done.
