If you mean one server to another server in redfox network, it should be possible I think redfox guys doing this, but if you will migrate from different server it may not be %100 percent save all data....

Firstly I think you posted this in the wrong forums group, as this does not appear to be a RFH related question.

Now, from what you are saying, you are not simply moving from one server to another, but migrating from one server to another. The word migrating needs to be used so that we know you are changing the software involved.

Unfortunately there is no easy way to do this and you will not get a set of 'click this' / 'click that' insturctions since each scenario is different and anyone with the knowledge to do it would typical want to be paid.

However, a few hints:

1). If using IIS for the website you maybe able to backup and restore the metabase. It would depend on the locations on the hard drive. If it is just a single domain, then I would just re-create the config from scratch and then uploaded the old files.

2). For email you might find MailEnable has a import / migration utility. If not you may have to look at copying and transforming the files over (depending on the size of the mail server allow plenty of time for this!).


If you feel you are not capable of doing this properly, then feel free to PM on a consultancy basis (rate would be negociated first).
