[Cialug]moving a server

[Dan Hockey]

 Mounting the old hdd as a slave was the way I used to move things from one
drive to another. The small compaqs I'm experimenting with have room for
only one drive. If I had the money I'd build a new server using an mini ITX
and a flash drive. If/when I get rsync to work I can say I learned to do
something new with linux.

In the future you might want to consider to use a separate hard drive 
for the file storage.  You build the new server and once everything is 
setup you'd just swap the hard drive with the files on it.  No transfer 
needed and it's easily to go back if things fail.

In your case you could also add a new hard drive into your old system 
and mirror (copy the files) to the hard drive.  Then move it to the new 
server.

Just ideas,
