Migrate data to new Mac OS X server
We have a old Mac Mini running server version 5.015. We have purchased a new Mac Mini 2016 and have not downloaded the server software yet. I need to move the Data, Users, Shares, permissions, etc. to the new server. This is a small office with about 5 users. Can someone give me some suggestions on the best way to migrate everything to new server. Of course, the new server has different hardware. Should do I just do copy data from old to new, set up users, setup shares, etc. Or is there a seamless way to do this faster and keeping shares, permissions, etc. even though the hardware is different and OS will be different. I would really like to figure out the target disk mode boot using a thunderbolt cable, but don't know what the restrictions would be. Can some one just help get me started and some suggestions.
Thanks so much...
