Hi,
I was trying to perform an incremental migration (from 6.0.7 to 8.0.7) but due to slow disks time/writes, it's taking forever and information drift from the begining to the end of the procedure will be way too much for end users (you know, modified/deleted items).
So, I was thinking in making this in my four store servers:
1) Fullscan on each one of them to the NFS share (/mnt/backup/1-4)
2) After backups are over (they take like 1 day to finish). Stop services and launch another fullscan that will take much less time as it will be during a weekend and almost no information is changed
3) Start the external recoveries from the NFS shares on the 4 new servers and by the time accounts are created, change firewall and DNS information to make them my new production enviroment.
Is this a good idea? I mean, my intention is for the users to start using the new servers as soon as their LDAP accounts are created and in the meanwhile, keep the restoring jobs putting the emails back in their mailboxes. Would this work or is this a risky operation to perform?
After everything is moved, fix shares and powerdedup the stores as usual with incremental migrations.
Thanks!!!
