Hello,<br><br>I'm doing almost same migration, from old cyrus (2.2.12) to new version (2.4.13) and I'm using "imapsync" utility in Centos6 to "copy" all data. After some reading and <span class="clickable" id="intento105">attempts</span> I have a "fast" sync method to copy the data from old server to new one.<br><br>Regards.<br><br>Manel Gimeno Zaragoza<br>magiza83@hotmail.com<br><br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> Date: Wed, 29 Feb 2012 11:36:26 +0100<br>> From: lists@xunil.at<br>> To: info-cyrus@lists.andrew.cmu.edu<br>> Subject: Questions around moving from 2.2.12 to 2.4.12<br>> <br>> <br>> Hello, cyrus-imap-users (and -devs?),<br>> <br>> I subscribed to this list today because I am searching for some<br>> information around upgrading/migrating my cyrus-imap-server.<br>> <br>> Unfortunately I waited very long, hopefully not too long ...<br>> <br>> The old server runs Suse Linux 10.1 with these versions:<br>> <br>> # rpm -qa | grep cyrus<br>> cyrus-sasl-2.1.21-3<br>> cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.21-3<br>> cyrus-imapd-2.2.12-13<br>> <br>> I have a few hundred accounts within web-cyradm, which means their<br>> passwords are stored encrypted (so the imapsync-approach is problematic).<br>> <br>> My goal is to migrate things over to a newer server running gentoo<br>> linux, the maintained version of cyrus-imapd there is 2.4.12 (the older<br>> 2.2.13 from a separate gentoo-overlay didn't compile for me).<br>> <br>> Moving the mysql-DB shouldn't be much of a problem, the web-cyradm tool<br>> runs on gentoo already.<br>> <br>> So my question is: how to move things in the most stress-free way?<br>> <br>> Could I simply copy over /var/spool/imap etc, and start the newer version?<br>> <br>> Do I have to somehow convert things? If yes, is it problematic?<br>> <br>> I am thinking about just trying it for a test, but I would really feel<br>> much better with some competent feedback from the cyrus-imap-community.<br>> <br>> Thanks a lot in advance, Stefan.<br>> ----<br>> Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/<br>> List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/<br></div> </div></body>
