export/import annotations.db

[Lucidblue0 at gmail.com]

Hi all,

I'm trying to migrate a current install of 2.1 to a 2.2 server.

I first exported the LDAP on the original system. I ran kolab_bootstrap -b  
on the new system and then cleared out the new LDAP, changed the hashes for  
the nobody and manager accounts in the exported ldif file, then had a  
successful import. This finally was the easiest approach, even after trying  
to find all the config files, I guess the hash was still different even  
though it was the same pass...

Next I was able to export and then import the mailboxes.db.

The last vital step (aside from rsync'ing the mail), is to somehow copy the  
annotations.db, I remember when I tried to do this in the past, I just  
copied the file and I was getting DB_ERROR's in the log files.

After much googling, I'm not seeing anything that actually mentions how to  
do this, all the backup docs I've found just skip over it, saying "and you  
might want to backup the annotations.db too".

Should I be able to just copy that file and put it into the new install? I  
have multiple calendar and contact folders on group account and also one or  
more per user account.

Any ideas about this would be great. The migration is going from a SuSE  
10.2 native (Kolab 2.1) to a SuSE 10.3 native (Kolab 2.2).

Thanks,
-Skip
