| The time is approaching when filePro will have compiled its software for 
| AIX from 4.8 to 5.0. I will also be getting new hardware from IBM (E-server 
| or P-server).

| Can someone provide a list of things that I will have to do to transfer all 
| of the filePro files from my old system to my new system.

Decide whether you want to archive your filePro directories to a tape
and then restore from that tape to the new machine, or whether you'd
rather use ethernet and move the files via rdist, rsync, or (nc)ftp.

If I were doing it, I'd for sure make a couple of complete system
backup tapes using BackupEDGE, then make the tapes non-writable.

But I'd actually move the fP data, along with all sort of other
information from the old machine, over Ethernet.
