Moving the server

Guessing this will be a bitch have been postponing/preparing for about a year. Have a good plan of attack and have already started working on things.

1. Purchased a set Dell Power Edge 1750's some time ago drilled out hardisk blanks, and formated and verified all harddisks.

2. Have Ubuntu 6.06-2 LTS server installed and booting on one poweredge it is configured like this and yes it was a bitch to get it booting missed the bit about grub not liking raid 5

Partition 1 /boot 1 GB raid 0 2 active drives and 1 spare
Partition 2 / 2 GB raid 5 3 active drives each has a 1 GB partition adds up to 2 GB raid 5
Parittion 3 swap 10 GB raid 5 3 active drives each has 5 GB partition adds up to 10 GB raid 5
Partition 4 LVM2 ~200 GB raid 5 3 active drives each has ~120 GB partition adds up to ~200 GB raid 5

LVM fill this in /opt /home /var /usr /tmp going to add a backups LVM and mount it as /usr/local/backups

3. Got backups going in the server room gonning to take it onsite boot it with pld linux assemble the raid drives and lvm partitions and dump the data.

4. Plan to dump everything except Zimbra should be eaiser to reinstall and then restore a full backup?

Guessing i should keep /etc/fstab /etc/lvm and /etc/mdadm from the blank machine and copy them back after i am done moving data to the new drives

5. Booted using PDL linux got raid and lvm running, then mounted all the drive partitions see hard drive tips for full details

6. Copied /etc/fstab /etc/lvm/lvm.conf and /etc/mdadm.conf from the new machine to the /boot partition of the new machine then umouted the /boot partition.

7. Got bacula-fd running on the new machine, and connected to it from the old machines bacula-dir.

Should be able to do this all remotely?

run a incremental backup using bacula (Doing inc to test backup stratagies also all is live)
restore to new server use restore all them ommit boot
cp raid lvm fstab from boot
change ip setting so as not to block old server
test new server
block zimba webpages everthing but ssh and webmin on old machine
run an inc backup of zimbra old machine
scp it to the new server
reinstall zimbra (see docs)
restore zimbra from backups
shutdown old server

8. Blocked access to email on the old machine using firewall webadmin cp /etc/iptables.webmin /etc/iptables.backup09060701 cause i still do not trust webmin.
