Oops forgot RRD was in a different dir!

Are you changing the O/S on the new server?  If that is a yes, then
depending on how you are changing the O/S (upgrade vs. complete switch),
moving the RRD files gets very tricky.  A complete switch to the O/S
means you can't just copy the RRD files.  If no O/S change then be sure
to grab the other files under <install dir>/data and don't miss the rrd
sub directory, or you'll lose your graphs.

When I moved servers (long long ago, dust covered memory) you should
just
need hist/logs/histlogs for the data.  Configuration is in etc.
Therefor if
you simply transport ~hobbituser/server and ~hobbituser/client you
should be
set.

In order to preserve the current information, what files/directories
do I
need to move to the new system?

What permissions do I need to worry about?

I want to keep the RRD history data for the graphs also.


I am running Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2.

Is there a newer version that I should be running?
