Migrate SCO 5.0.6 to different hardware
hi

Howto migrate SCO Unix 5.0.6 to different hardware?
I'd like to try using Acronis.
Which Acronis Version support SCO Unix 5.0.6?

Mircolite Edge Microlite Corporation - Home of BackupEDGE 3.0 is probably the easiest, if just want to replace the hard drive. Depending upon how different the new hardware configuration is, you may have to load new device drivers etc.

Thx, but does Microlite Corporation - Home of BackupEDGE 3.0 cost or is it for free?

BTW Does Acronis support SCO file system and is it HTFS default file system of SCO 5.0.6?

Microlite software is not free, but you can run it for 60 days on full function trial.
I have never used Acronis software.
HTFS is the default file system for all non bootable SCO file systems. /boot is EAFS.
Assuming that you are not using the Desktop (2 user) version, where the default is DTFS, and I think HTFS is unavailable.

THX again, but what about to create an image using g4l and setup it on other hard disk?

https://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l/

Knows someone if g4l does support imaging of SCO Unix?

Yes, but don't expect it to allow you to change the partition size.

BTW knows someone if Acronis True Image 9.1 Server supports imaging of SCO 5.0.6?
I've done an image and recovered on other hardware, but now I have the following:
