[quote name='Lyndon' timestamp='1349227981' post='152806'] Hi. From experience, I know that BackupBuddy does an outstanding job of migrating WordPress Web sites between domains and servers. But, what if the source server and target server run 2 different operating systems? For example, if I wanted to migrate a WordPress Web site from any pair of Windows, LINUX or Mac, would BackupBuddy be able to do so without any issues? Do other steps exist? Or do other plug-ins that can handle platform migrations exist? Cheers, Lyndon [/quote]

Hello Lyndon,

This wouldn't be a problem. When migrating a site to a new server (any type) you really only need to be concerned with the servers actual configuration. There has been a little trouble in some instances with windows machines and unzipping the backup file, but we have work around for this.

Below is a link the the BackupBuddy Codex Specification portion.

Please let us know if this helps, or if you have any other questions!

Thanks,
