Hi all,
Is this possible? I have a backup of a database that is under example: abc.com and want to restore this and change the domain to xyz.com while keeping all login credentials for users as they are in abc.com.
Looking for ejabberd docs?

If the backup is a text file,
If the backup is a text file, you can simply edit it before importing in the new server.
If the backup is some binary file that you can't edit, then you can:
1. import/restore/recover the old backup in the new server
2. Dump the database to a text file
3. Edit that text file, changing the account domains as you want. Make sure you respect the file syntax.
4. In ejabberd, delete the database contents, as they are old.
5. Then load the edited text file.
For 1, 2, 4 and 5 you can use ejabberdctl commands.
