Hi everyone,
I must migrate to new linux server from my Engarde linux. There is about 100
users (mail server, httpd and so). Haw can I backup users - passwd, home
dir, etc. - no data.? Is there any command ?
Thanks in advance.
Adalbert.

Yes, there is "any command". But in order for your project to have a
snowball in hell's chance of succeeding, you will have to learn how to back
file systems up reliably, and migrate users with their options and
passwords. You will have to learn the various approaches, know how they
work, and why.

Start with a textbook that is a general introduction to Linux.
