    Hello @eva2000
    Is there a tutorial for using Centmin option 21? I would like to transfer one of my sites to a test server for the purpose of testing an upgrade to 2.3.3 Xenforo. Does the transfer leave the original files in tact so the site runs as normal? Just don't want something bad to happen to the original site. I know I need to do a backup of the files which will be done. Just looking for some guidance on using option 21.

    Thanks,
    Itworx4me

    There's very detailed centmin.sh menu option 21 documentation for Centmin Mod 131.00stable and Centmin Mod 140.00beta01. There are separate links as documentation will eventually diverge as Centmin Mod 140.00beta01 development continues to improve on the code.

    Yes it does leave source data intact so you can run it multiple times for testing. Just be aware that each backup run will take up disk space on your source data/original server so ensure you have enough free disk space.

    Rough idea of data set size for Centmin Mod standard install can be found via these commands unless you have saved data outside of these standard directories and their respective subdirectories.
    Code (Text):
    du -sh /usr/local/nginx /home/nginx /root/tools /var/lib/mysql /root/.acme.sh


    If it's a test you can always run a test VPS with test data and then treat that as source data and do a test migration on to a 2nd test VPS until you are familiar with the process and ready for live server migration.
