Over about the past month I have started to use cacti to monitor my home network. During this time two things have happened; one, I have started gather a lot of network data, two, Ubuntu 10.04 was released. I initially setup my cacti system on Ubuntu Server 9.10, and now wanted to move my cacti setup to a system running Ubuntu Server 10.04. Installing and setting up cacti on a new install of Ubuntu Server is quite easy, but that would cause me to loose all of my old network traffic data. With a little bit of time, and research, I was able to figure out how to move the data and graphs to the new system.
