Just wondering if everything was compatable as far as moving accounts from Direct Admin running on Red Hat to Direct Admin running on FreeBSD.

What if anything would have to change ?

Thanks,

-James

All I know is that a full backup won't be of much use.

If you're writing about what DA calls a full backup, based on sysbk, that would be of great use, since it works by copying directory structures as tarballs.

It would make it quite a bit easier, though it does require a manual restore.

We have done a complete restore from a backup, migrating from RHL 7.3 to WBEL 3, and it went fairly smoothly, though there were a few issues we've found and documented, and which we'll eventually bring to the forum's attention in a restore How-To.
