You can copy it safely using these commands on the original machine: cd /var tar czf ~/qdnsc-data.tgz qdns This creates a file called "qdnsc-data.tgz" in your home folder. Then on the new server, copy the file to your home folder and use these commands: cd /var sudo tar xzf ~/qdnsc-data.tgz - Start QuickDNS Central again - on Mac OS X, use this command: sudo qdnscontrol startcentrald Note that I've never tested this, so I can't say for sure that it will work properly. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 12:17 PM -0400 10/9/02, Jim Cobb wrote: >I would like to move QDNS Central and it's associated files (serial >numbers etc.) off of my local machine (OSX) to a different server >(Also OSX).
