Hey,

I love Wordops. So fast and cool.
It is not my only panel, but this one I like a lot.

The database crashed.. could not be updated with apt-get and I might switch servers anyways.

How to reinstall on a new server (and keep my sites)?
How to keep all the sitesettings and database.
I am comfortable to take time. And have a few skills.
But I have not a clue how to start.
It is a good practice though so I know what is going on for my clients as well.

I have the impression that within a site there is already all configuration and a tar.gz with preserved permissions should be fine.
But maybe there are other spots to backup.

Cheers

  • The simplest by far would be to restore a full server image/snapshot (pre-crash) to the new server.
    If you don't have that kind of backup, then this guide may help. But if your database has crashed and isn't recoverable then hopefully you have earlier DB backups.

Thank you for all your tips.
The guide helped me a lot.
Yes, I have backups but I cannot update my database with the package manager.
I have to remove it and reinstall it.
