#RESTORE FULL BACKUP CPANEL WHM ARCHIVE#
Unless the archive is corrupt, this almost always works quickly and flawlessly.Īnd that's that as far as moving the account to the new server is concerned. Once the transfer is finished, go to WHM on the new machine and in the Backup section, select "Restore a Full Backup/cpmove File." Then select "Restore with Username." WHM will look in /home, find the backup, and offer to restore it for you.Enter the password, and the transfer will start. Either way, once you enter the SCP command, you'll be prompted for the root password of the receiving server. You'll want to send them to /home on the new server because that's where WHM will look for them.Īssuming that the user account is somesite, that the archive is, and that the receiving server's hostname is, the SCP syntax would be: $ scp can also use the receiving server's IP rather than the hostname. One there exist backup archives for the account(s) you need to move, use SCP to get them to the new server. You can also restore backup files from the shell on the new machine if you want or need to.
#RESTORE FULL BACKUP CPANEL WHM HOW TO#
Rather than my wasting keystrokes, the link to how to do that is at. If there does not exist a recent-enough backup for the account you need, then make it. If there's already a recent-enough backup, then you don't need to make one. Then look in the "accounts" subdirectory.ĭu -bsh * to see what's in there, with file sizes. (I like puTTY.)Ĭd again to the most recent backup subdirectory. Log into the losing server as root using your SSH client of choice. But you can actually restore from the shell if you need to. Presumably, you'd have access to WHM on the new server.You have at least SSH to the losing server.So here's how I transferred several dozen accounts out of HFW's service even though the server at HFW refused to accept the connection from the receiving server. The normal way to do this would be from WHM on the receiving server using the "Transfers" function, but you can also do it from the losing server side if that doesn't work.īecause I just went through what you're going through with HFW and because the wording of your question, I suspect that that's the situation you're in: The old server won't accept the transfer request from the new one. You can move a site or sites to another server using a cPanel backup file.
