Re: [cobalt-users] Is there a way to copy and move the entire con tents of the Hard drive

["LightSpeedServers.Net" <admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for the response.

I believe you may have misunderstood the question or I did not state the
question clearly.  I am trying to figure out how to copy and load everything
on another server, maintained on another network.  Cobalts options only
allow me to move the sites over.  I would like to move everything over to
the new server.  The new server is maintained on a different IP network in a
different State.
