backup questions

[dumb-medic]

Hello,

i need to make a backup of my server to tranfer everything to a new machine.

if i make a image-based backup i expect it not to work because of different hardware (mainboard, cpu, ram, harddisks, nics) in the new machine.

so the only way seems to be a file-based backup. i'm running ispconfig with a lot of modifications, setting up a celan ispconfig and all addtionally installed applications would take me much time i actually do not have.

anyone has a clue how i can achieve a file-based backup which will work on a new server with different hardware?

thanks in advance,
dumb-medic

System: Open Suse 10.1
Ispconfig: 2.2.7
Server: Root - Stand alone
