Moving into new home/area; changing servers and need to know how to transfer all data over .?

It really depends on the type of information that you have stored on the server. If you have games and programs on the server, those will need to be re-loaded onto the new server.



If it's just data that you need to transfer, there are a few different ways of doing it. The first is just to transfer the data to CD/DVD's. How many you need depends on how much data you have, but is certainly the most cost effective alternative. Another way is to get a USB key. They are small keychain style drives that plug into the USB ports and can hold anywhere from 256mb (small ones) to over 1GB (larger and more expensive). If its something larger you want, an external USB hard drive is the way to go. You should be able to get one from 50-100GB for a couple hundred dollars (at most).



Once you have the method you want, you simply move the files to the discs or storage device.
