<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I tried using scp to copy the following directories over to the new server.<br>
/var/lib/xymon/hist/<br>
/var/lib/xymon/histlogs/<br>
/var/lib/xymon/rrd/<br>

But I keep getting 'not a regular file' errors on the rrd and histlogs files. I need the rrd data. The graphs are really all I care about.<br>

<pre>Just copy the data directory.
If the rrd's are not compatibel (32 bit -> 64 bit) you can export the rrd to
xml on the old server, transfer the xml file and import the xml to an rrd. I
juist did that for one of our customers :)
