Hello,
Now that I’ve played with my new hardware, it’s getting serious - the move begins.
How to move a NS installation to a new Proxmox machine?
- Is HotSync suitable for this?
- classic via backup?

Hi
Both methods will work, maybe backup / restore takes a little less work…
My 2 cents

Consider that Hotsync is “reliable” but not “official”.
If you can afford downtime, i’d go for:
- close services (Port forwarding, firewall rules, and so on)
- backup
- while backup, install, update CentOs7 and restore module
- download config backup on pc
- shutdown old one
- upload config backup on new one
- do a restore
- after restore ends, checkup
- allow services to be accessed.
For less downtime, schedule full backup for the day before the migration, so backup time will be shorter (incremental only)
Out of curiousity: you want to move from proxmox to proxmox?
Hello,
no - from my old native installation on proxmox.
But unfortunately it will still take a while, because friends first have to hang up the new 19" cabinet and then I can hang up the cables at some point.
The mean thing is that all the hardware is there and running…
