@travisdh1 I always make sure it is secure. I am referring to storing large amounts of data inside a directory that Apache uses as well.
That's only a problem for security.

I thought about making a new VM using Fedora 25 as the one @scottalanmiller provided the group works so well. I'm just afraid I won't be able to successfully migrate the data.
It's all just a database and filesystem. I've not done this, but should not be bad.

@scottalanmiller I have no access to the server to patch and update. It was supposed to be a "test" to find out if they would use it or not. Apparently they love it and filled up the storage and are wanting more. Because it will be production, I want it to be done properly.
All my Ubuntu VMs are current with updates and patches.

Any they used it anyway? How will you migrate them if you don't have access?

@scottalanmiller I'll have to physically go there. Not far at all. I will get remote access though if I am going to maintain the install.

Looks like a backup and restore are the way to go...

@scottalanmiller I will check that out this evening.

Would this still be possible if you've chosen to enable encryption? I would assume that your encryption key would be different in a new install. I don't remember reading anywhere about how to migrate data from one install to another if it was encrypted (although maybe I've never read it because it doesn't matter). Has anyone done this? Moved users and data to a new install with encryption turned on?

Doing the migration would decrypt on the source before doing the move. So it should be the same. The key would change or not depending on if you move the key.
