Upgrading to 8 and Upgrading servers

[rspurlock]

This is a 2 part question and I promise it will be my last for the day.

Part 1: I honestly didn't dig for this so please excuse the question. When you upgrade an older server to PSA 8.x, does the upgrade move your data around from the /home/httpd/vhost to the new /var/www/vhosts format? Or just leave it as is?

Part 2: I have some older servers that I would like to replace with newer, faster servers with more storage (so I can house more domains for the $$$). Does anyone have any suggestions on moving all that data to a new server quickly and painlessly? How does one easily move 200+ websites with 30GB+ data? Has anyone accomplished it and got a system?

TIA

Rob

1) Upgrades don't move your vhost location. You can change it yourself if you want to, there's an article on it in the knowledge base.

2) Use the Plesk Migration Manager.
