I think I actually was able to transfer my site onto another server without too much hassle.
I still can’t believe it.
Well, let me know if you run into any issues. Hopefully this means my life will get back to normal soon.
It’s always interesting going through the restore process, because you realize all the bits and pieces of information you didn’t have, and how hard it is to get things restored. It’s made even more complicated when you are restoring onto hardware that doesn’t necessarily match the original system, because you can’t just image the original disk!
As I have gone, I have made some good notes of what I needed to do, and that will help immensely for the future. I suspect I have at least one more change-over to go. However, if I automate things, it should be done in an hour, instead of a whole day like it did this time. (There are always little niggly details hiding out in various config-files when you are getting networking and mail set up again… sigh…)
One useful note: http://www.abuse.net/relay.html has a decent spam-relay testsuite. I always use this thing to make sure I’m not inadvertently enabling bad behavior. Thanks, abuse.net!
