Question Speeding up migration

tkalfaoglu

Silver Pleskian
Hi there. I am going to migrate to another server since the old one is now 9 years old!
Same data center, so, a LAN transfer basically.. between two Centos plesk obsidians.
I intend to use the migration tool of course, but is there anything I can do to speed this up?
For example, can I do a preliminary rsync of all the /var/www/vhosts files ahead of time?
Does the migration tool use Rsync and would that rsync skip over the files that already exist? Would that help?

Otherwise, the 300+ customers on that server will sure be waiting for a long time for the migration to finish so I can change our DNS IPs to the new server..

Many thanks, -turgut

You could just start the migration job a d let it run through the day, and then re-sync everything once more after it finishes - resyncing only affects changed and added files, so it will be much faster.
 
Many thanks -- I'll do that.. I noticed how very very slow the migration was just now.. So I better start early..
I'll just rsync /var/qmail/mailnames afterwards again. -- I don't dare rsync the /var/www/vhosts as IP's are different and something might blow up..
