There are several ways to transfer MikoPBX to a different host (server). Each method has its advantages and special considerations. Below is a brief overview of each option, and you can refer to the detailed guides in this section.
Description:
A backup of the current MikoPBX configuration is created and then uploaded to the new server. This method is suitable for smaller amounts of data.
Pros:
Easy to set up.
Allows you to preserve the current configuration.
Considerations:
May be less reliable for large amounts of data.
Requires intermediate storage for the backup (e.g., local disk or cloud).
Description:
A backup is automatically created and saved directly to the target server via the SFTP protocol. This method is especially effective for large amounts of data.
Pros:
Suitable for large amounts of data.
Minimizes manual actions.
Provides direct data transfer between servers.
Considerations:
Requires SFTP configuration on both servers.
Needs correct SSH user settings for proper operation.
Description:
The rsync command is used to directly synchronize data between the old and new servers. This method is convenient for experienced users.
Pros:
Fast synchronization, even for large data volumes.
Preserves access rights and directory structure.
Does not require creating intermediate backups.
Considerations:
Requires basic command-line knowledge.
Possible errors if configurations (e.g., paths) are incorrect.
Both servers must be accessible on the network at the same time.
