Thanks for following up and all the ideas! I haven't done anything yet researching and making sure it will work OK and I end up with a stable syste. Most of my stuff is in jails anyway with EzJail so I'm thinking that if I upgrade my old system to exactly the version of the target installation the ezjail archive and restore feature will work well. I have done this before and works like a charm so long as both systems are prtty much the same version and equally updated. So I'm still undecided as to what the best approach would be at this point. I'm inclined for the ezjail archive restore right now as I know for a fact that it works. Best, Alejandro Imass
