move config files from one server to another

[Marco Obaid]

Hi,

On your test server:
********************
cd /etc
tar -cvf /tmp/ms-backup.tar ./MailScanner

This will tar MailScanner directory to a file ms-backup.tar and place the tar
file in /tmp

Now transfer ms-backup.tar to your new server and place it in /etc

 On your new server:
*********************
cd /etc
tar -xvf ms-backup.tar



Hope this helps
Marco
