I am activating a new Trixbox appliance running CE 2.6 to replace my system that is running on substandard hardware and would like to just migrate my current configuration over to the new appliance without going through a complete reconfiguration. Is there a known process or a config file that I can copy over to my appliance or do i have to reconfig from scratch.

Any direction would be appriciated,

Jeff

use FreePBX backup

I would recommend something like the following:
On PC, download http://svn.freepbx.org/modules/release/2.5/backup-2.5.1.7.tgz
On old server:
1. PBX- PBX Settings – Module Admin – Upload Module: Upload newly downloaded module.
2. Module Admin – click “Backup & Restore” and select Install. Click “Process”.
3. “Tools – Backup & Restore”. Create backup called “Full”, selecting everything, and schedule for 1:00, everyday.
On new box:
For FreePBX/trixbox restore (VM, system config, etc.):

mkdir /var/lib/asterisk/backups/restore   #doesn’t really matter what folder name

1. PBX- PBX Settings – Module Admin – Upload Module: Upload newly downloaded module.
2. Module Admin – click “Backup & Restore” and select Install. Click “Process”.
3. mkdir /var/lib/asterisk/backups/restore #doesn’t really matter what folder name
4. ftp/copy backup file (.tar.gz) to this folder location from old box
5. Tools – Backup & Restore - Restore from Backup – restore [or whatever folder name] – select file. Select what items to restore.
You may need to go into each extension and just click "submit" to reset each extension.
Hope this gets you started...
