Re: Replacing a server running QDNS Central

Copy the following directories to the new server. Make sure file
ownership is set the same (all owned by root).

/var/named
/var/qdns

You can use tar to package up the directories, which will have the
added benefit of preserving permissions.

For example, on the old server:

tar czf ~/quickdns.data.tgz -C /var named qdns

This creates a file called quickdns.data.tgz in your home folder. On
the new server, after you've installed all the software, put this
archive file into your home folder and execute:

sudo tar xzC /var -f ~/quickdns.data.tgz

Then restart all services. If you're using QuickDNS 4.6 or later:

sudo /Library/StartupItems/QuickDNS/QuickDNS restart
