Hello everyone!

My manager just brought to my attention that this organization has a CentOS 6.3 server - he didn’t specify what it’s hosting just yet but asked that I find a solution to do a full backup so that we may restore later onto bare metal with the option to migrate from CentOS to another Linux distro.

Has anyone had experience with backing up / restoring CentOS 6? And if you know what would be the best Linux distro to replace CentOS 6? Or even a step by step guide for both or either one?

Please and thanks in advance!

    No love here for Rocky or Oracle for that matter.

    Alma is looking better and better all the time ( or RHEL if you can afford it ).

      What has Rocky done?

      Also, I 100% understand not liking Oracle as a company, but anyone can use OEL freely without ever having to deal with Oracle the company, and it’s a damn good RHEL substitute.
