    Default backup cPanel configuration

    Hiya!

    Let's say I'm getting a new server and I wish to copy my cPanel configuration as it is from the old server to the new server, is there a way I could backup my cPanel configuration and restore it later? I've been to the Main >> Backup >> Configure Backup page, but I'm not sure if it backs up everything or just the hosted websites/mysql data.

    Please advise

    Regards,

    Regards,
    A full server backup (as can be configured on that screen) will contain your configuration etc. Only items that are server-specific such as hostnames and IPs are not included in the full sever backup.

    Note, when you select to store backups on a remote server via FTP, the user interface does say accounts only. This means only account data (websites, MySQL, mail etc.) will be backed up when you select this method. Server-wide configurations would not be backed up with this method.
