Hello,
I currently have all my files with DirectAdmin setup on RedHat 9. However, I want to move to FreeBSD 5.3.

I tried using the backup and restore method for each user, but I get an error with the MySQL.

Is there a better way in doing this when switching OS's?

I got it all done

basically, I created backups through DA, without checking the DB backup part. I then created new users and uploaded the backups.

Then, I tar'd all the files up in /var/db/mysql/ and moved them to the FreeBSD server and untared them in /home/mysql/

All works
