Transferring Baikal data to new domain

[MortenJuhl-Johansen]

I have run a Baïkal server for a long time, and that is excellent. Now I have registered a new domain I want to run Baïkal on. This is on Debian shared hosting, so access to files, but no terminal access on server. Is there a procedure for exporting the existing server data and importing in a fresh install?

Hi,

it sounds a bit semi-professional but what you can try if you don't have acces to the DB files is using a client's export/import fuctionality.

E.g. with thunderbird you can export your calendar to an ics export file. Also you can import such a file. The way to go is to add the "old calendar" to thunderbird and export into an ICS file. Then also add you "new calendar" to thunderbird and import the previously exported file into it. I did this for testing purpose and it works.

If you have just a few calendars to migrate, this could be an approach.

In case you don't have a PC based client, try to use an app like "ical import/export" for android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tk.drlue.icalimportexport.premium&pcampaignid=web_share

Good luck

Clean way: transfer your Baikal database to the new domain Less clean way: Use an external export tool (eg Thunderbird), like already posed above
