Full backup (DNS/Mysql/Mails & templates)

[ismael_rocha]

Hello!!

I want to perform a full backup of all accounts of cPanel, including DNS/Mysql data/Mails and the templates we can customize to generate VirtualHosts to Apache and so on.
What´s the best way to do it ?
Is it possible to perform this job using WHM ?
I need to migrate all things to a new machine with cPanel.
Thanks for advices.

The customized EasyApache templates are just files you can "copy/paste" to the same location on the new server.

You can backup individual accounts by running:

/scripts/pkgacct <username>

Though, if you have automatic backups enabled, you may have a full server backup you can simply send to the new server and restore. That would likely be less time consuming than backing up/restoring each account manually.

Dear sir,

Performing this "full server backup", Will I have all the things I want such as DNS/Mysql database and users/mail and its box and so on???

Can I do this job from WHM ???

Thanks

The full server backup, if stored on your server, will have all of the items you mentioned (DNS, MySQL databases and users, Mail) etc. backed up.

You can determine where your backups are located by viewing your backup configuration at:

WHM -> Backup -> Configure Backup

If your backups are stored locally, the backup destination will indicate where your backups can be found.

Dear sir,

I have automatic backup enabled on my server. That´s the output of the backup directory:

root@webserver [/cpbackup/daily]# ls -lh

-rw------- 1 root root 19M Dec 29 01:01 ttradica.tar.gz
-rw------- 1 root root 25M Dec 29 01:00 uniaosm.tar.gz

Do I need to copy all the files (*.tar.gz) and the directories "dirs", "files" to have a full backup copy ??
After this proccess, how can I proceed ? Just pasting those files into the same directory at other server and restore them from WHM ???
Please, give some instruction.

Thanks.

Dear sir,

I performed a backup per account using "/scripts/pkgacct <account<" and things were completely success.
Thanks for all advices and support.

DEPOIS FAZER

chown -R username:username /home/username/

DEPOIS FAZER

cd username
chmod 755 OU 750 public_html
========================================

Cumps,
