Ok, this is probably a newbie question, but I have googled thoroughly and cant find an answer. My mailserver went down with a bad hdd, I was using mailscanner/spammasssin/clam It appears to be just the boot sectors that are damaged, so I managed to boot with linux rescue and mount the drives. However, I cannot get it to boot off the drive, and fsck shows all kinds of errors.<br>
<br>I have stood up another server, but I need to figure out what to copy over to the server. I can read and copy all the files I need, or at least I think so. I just cant quite figure out what files I need. I dont really care about the messages, its just all the accounts and passwords, as well as the mailscanner config files that I need to copy. I have /etc/mail and /etc/MailScanner copied. Can I just copy the linux OS and password files (redhat 5) to the new server? If so, what are those files?<br>
<br>Should I just reinstall everything, then copy the config files? If so, what files?<br><br>What other files do I need to copy? I have a usb drive that I am copying everything to, and I have another server stood up with the redhat (actually oel) install.<br clear="all">
<br>Its not a business critical system obviously, but I think I will make a good backup next time.<br><br>-- <br>Andrew W. Kerber<br><br>'If at first you dont succeed, dont take up skydiving.'<br>
