Thanks for explaining.

That depends on how your current hardware is configured. Which storage type are you using, ZFS, LVM...?

Yes i m use zfs for system pbs

Then you could proceed as follows:

• Install PBS on the new server
• Transfer ZFS datastores to the new server with ZFS-Send. Example: zfs send -v rpool/home@bla1 | ssh otherhost zfs receive otherpool/home@bla1
• Transfer configs manually, possibly adjust other/new paths
• Restart services
• Check everything is working fine and delete the zfs snapshot on the new server

Yes, I had read in the docs and forums that many users use the send option. Thank you so much for your advice and the time you have dedicated to me.
