OK, I will give it a try. Would the following be the right procedure to use=

</div>Hi<br>
<br>
moving a DB server is not as trivial as moving the data.<br>
For a start you can setup a new db server for your cell on the new<br>
server and start it beside your old one - if done fine, they do sync<br>
automatic and both will work as expected.<br>
Now you need to see how your clients get known to the DB server - via<br>
CellServDB or via DNS entries - in no.1 you need to change the<br>
cellServDB on each client, on case no.2 you need to change the DNS entries.=
<br>
Afterwards you can stop the old DB server and the new one should serv<br>
all the data for your clients.<br>
I=B4ve done it a few times already and it is possible.<br></blockquote><div=
