Domino 8.5 Hardware Refresh (with DAOS)
In the past, it was easy to move a Domino server to new hardware - just install the Domino server software on the new box, copy the data folder over and viola it worked. Since I now have a Domino 8.5 server with transaction logging and DAOS turned on, is there anything special I need to know? Do I just copy the transaction log folder and the DAOS folder over as well? Do they need to be re-built from scratch? Any one who's done this and is willing to share the secrets, I would appreciate it.

Excellent question. If your DAOS store is set to encrypt NLO's, moving the data store will not work because the NLO's are encrypted with the server ID.
A way to move the data is to replicate all databases (the
attachments will be brought in from the store, into the nsf and
replicated over).
In terms of TXN logging, if circular was used, nothing special is
needed i think. If archive is used, I'm not sure how that works out
with the backup software.
actually, after re-reading your post, i noticed you are only moving to new HW. If the server ID remains the same, i'd move the data directory, txn logs, daos store, and fire that baby up
