Transfer Servers


Hello,
I am currently running a Redhat 8 web/mail/ftp server on a Dual PII 300 with 64MB of RAM. I have 2 4.3GB 80-PIN SCSI and a 2.1 GB 80-Pin SCSI, Software raided together in a SCSI Hotswap array cage installed in the computer. I am awaiting the arrival of a P4 2.4 with 256MB RAM. I want to transfer the Hard Drives to the new server. I am not sure if it has SCSI 80-Pin Capabilities, so if I install a 80 GB IDE, can I transfer the existing installation over to the new computer. I am new to linux and made some changes, such as making the server my router/firewall for my home network. I do not remember all of the configuring I did, so I do not want to loose the setup, but I need a newer computer. Can anyone help???????

get a basic install on the new pc, then use rsync to copy the old disks info to the new. or do it via samba. copy all contents of old drives onto the 80 gig. that way you have anything you may need. when ready let me know and i will help.

Tyler,
I have attempted to setup RSYNC. Here is the thing. In the manual it talks about backing up one or two folders. Well I am looking for a complete copy. Also, just a question. Is RedHat in any way similar to MS in the fact that MS loads the drivers, and stores them, or does Linux Reload the drivers each boot???? Reasoning is, my old pc....well I posted that in my first post.
