I have a server with ev1 (now planet) and decided to give up on that old junk and get a new one. The support has agreed to take the old hard drive and slave it on the new one. I have cpanel, with around 40 sites, at least 5 of them 5GB+, 2 of them 10GB +.

Has anyone done this using a slave drive? I am confused as the cpanel will not be available on the slave, right? Its easy to move the physical files between primary and slave, but how do I move the site info and the databases (they are huge).

Discuss this at planet forums or get a dedicated server from theplanet.com for $50 only
