Hi Everyone, Have been using Mail Archiver since V1, and at the moment I have a mismash of different databases and versions.

I've just moved over to a virtualized environment, and will be decommissioning our old servers shortly.

What I'd like to do is get all of my databases upgraded/changed to the firebird versions.

At the moment for the older MA db's they are in SQL.  One is 30gig in size, and pretty much unmanagble.  Every time I've tried to convert these over, the import service has died, so its time to look at this once again, as I've left it sitting there for over a year.

I'd like to split them all out as firebird db's for each quarter.

Unfortunately it looks like I can only convert items from V2, over to V5 by using the import tool.

V3 and V4 db's I can only attach, is there a way i could completely move accross, and upgrade to v5 for all of these old databases (Possibly converting from sql to firebird)

Thanks,
Cameron

cameron,

The best way to do this would be to attach the databases to GFI MailArchiver and then move the messages from the old databases to the new GFI MailArchiver 5 databases.  Please take a look at http://ftp.gfisoftware.com/support/GFI_MailArchiver_4-Moving_emails_between_databases.pdf as it goes over the method to do this.
