I have a question...
If I'm mining with a litecoind/bitcoind process, and a pushpool. How can i move the whole shablam to a new server/copmputer WHILEST saving the progress I have on this current round?
Also, can i move the litecoind/bitcoind and/or pushpoold service and files without having to rebuild them from source on the new machine?
Help is highly appriciated!

Well basically I went ahead and moved the database (mysql) and rebuilt the pushpool, stratum and litecoind sources on linux.
Pretty much what I said – Dr.Haribo – 2013-06-05T20:58:00.610

If you're the only person using the pool server, it doesn't matter how many shares you have -- all the profits are yours. Who would you be sharing them with?
It's me and my friends. Shares are kept in the database, which i will move over to the new server as well, of course. – Robin Jonsson – 2013-05-14T17:56:22.720

To move work stats/shares you have to move those stored data. In your case probably a database.
You can use the same binaries if the new computer runs the same operating system on the same architecture. Otherwise just recompile them.
Yeah, I went ahead and recompiled them. – Robin Jonsson – 2013-05-16T10:17:10.907
Are you hosting a pushpool yourself? Doesn't the pool save the amount of shares you submitted to your account so that your progress is automatically saved to your account? – Steven Roose – 2013-05-14T12:22:34.400
The answer on your second question will heavily depend on how similar the two machines are you are moving between. – Steven Roose – 2013-05-14T12:23:11.997
Yes, I'm hosting a pushpool myself. I don't know... All I know is that it puts shares into a database, that's neat and all, but does the progress actually save on the litecoind "account" ? – Robin Jonsson – 2013-05-14T14:41:42.527
Oh and the second question, well it's basicly the same machine, one more core and double the ram. Same Ubuntu image. – Robin Jonsson – 2013-05-14T14:42:05.403
@StevenRoose Also, another question... If pushpoold crashes, and i force restart the whole server with shutdown -r now. That progrss is saved as well? I hope? – Robin Jonsson – 2013-05-14T16:05:07.727
I'm sorry, but I'm not the person that can help you. – Steven Roose – 2013-05-14T16:19:43.160
@StevenRoose Alright, thanks anyway. Do you mind upvoting this question? :) – Robin Jonsson – 2013-05-14T16:27:57.820
1I changed the title, now I upvoted. You need to know that Bitcoin doesn't have such a thing as "progress". Mining is about trying a random puzzle, every hash your computer calculates has an equal chance of finding a block, regardless of how long you have been looking for that block. – Steven Roose – 2013-05-14T16:32:39.993
