We are moving to a new host so I took a backup and did a restore to the new host to get everything working at a second domain name. The current site has been running for a few weeks while getting everything work on the new host. I was thinking I just need to backup the data folder and DB (except for the config table) then restore / overwrite the copy and all would be good. Does this sound like a plan?
Tried it, and it worked like a champ Excluded the settings table and added a drop tables statement to the export, tared up the data dir and overwrote both of them on the new host.
Yeah I had seen that one too late the first time I moved to the new host and had to database dive to fix it after I messed it up. I figured to just update the new host with changed data the way I just did it would be the safest way to not overwrite all my settings... Thoughts?
