    Hi!

    If I use the migration toolkit in the acutal version, are the contents ob webspaces, databased, emails are transfered as well?
    Or only the data which ispconfig needs for working (clients, webspaces, mail-accounts).

    If all data are transfered, is it possible to do avoid this and transfer only ispconfig-data?

    Yes

    No, the tool always does a complete migration of the selected clients/domains/websites/etc. which always contains the configuration of them and the data of the sites and mailboxes.

    So what happens to a misconfigured source server? Are the underlying services and configurations that may be causing problems also transferred?

    So are the services on the new server also damaged after the migration?

    If the data inside the ISPConfig database is damaged, then the migration might fail if the tool can't retrieve data or if you have wrong data e.g. in the apache directives field of a website, then this wrong data gets transferred as it's part of the website settings in the database. The configuration of services is not transferred as the tool is doing an ISPConfig data import, it is not copying over existing configs, so the new ISPConfig system generates fresh config files.
