Data Migration , please Help

Hello there , i have 2 servers , one in Malaysia and one in Holland , and i want to move a 45GB from one server to another without downloading the files and upload them again , is there any way to do that ? like a script to auto connect to the FTP and grab the files ? i want to use the servers connection instead of mine .

Cheers

Mustafa

 

Are they Windows servers or Linux?

In windows server, you can share the drives between two servers via Remote Desktop.

45GB data... I am not sure how big is your international bandwidth of your server in Malaysia, but if it's small, it can take days for moving. You can compress data to one or some files first, then rsync to the new server

 

this will definitely take some time.. why don't you compress in multiple batches and transfer via sftp in batches.. I've done before but not that big..

My advise better do it slowly and perfectly.. once you make a mistake in compression or data transfer it's hard to trace or redo back again

 

rsync is probably the best solution if you have ssh access.

Are you transferring cPanel accounts or just data?

 

no just data , i tried FXP but didn't work , it is ok if it takes time and BW i just want to move them slowly , but how about scripts ? is there anything like PHP script that do the job ?

cheers

 

have u try cpanel file transfer? it works for me

 

rsync is best solution, if you are looking for someone to transfer the data for you just p.m me i'll tell you someone who provide this service

 

I'll also vote for rsync. Its pretty simple and much faster.
You can also use SCP

 

I vote for rsync as well. The first copy will take a while, the rest should go quickly if your data is not changing too often.
