Transferring to the new server · **Released**: 01-13-2007

Right now I am following the instructions from the VB manual on how to backup/move to a new server. Section 2 - Transferring to the new server.... Does this mean it is removing it from the old server and moving it to the new server OR does it mean it is COPYING it from the old server to the new server.

Sorry for such a basic question but I don't want to mess anything up.

Oh, and the instructions I am referring to are at http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/moving_servers

Im not sure, but there are a few other settings that may vary from board to board such as cached post life span, and the way everything is searched.

Though im not sure if either of those will affect DB size or not.

Thank you for the pointer! The attachments for the 2gb site are stored in the database. The 217 mb site stores them in the file system in /attachments. I went to my FTP program and found attachment.php to be 12kb (dont think thats the right one though is it?)

As far as I know, we set up everything the same. Unless theres some setting that uses HUGE amounts of space that I could check, it seems like they should be about the same file size.

Am I nuts or does it seem wrong that the sites are so hugely different in size?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
