command line backup/restore scripts

[Goni]

Hi, I have to move an existing cpanel server data to another and was wondering if there are any command line backup/restore scripts available with the package. For some reasons, i can't access cpanel from web. So I have to stick for backup on console but can restore using both web/console.

Are there any commands to backup all the contents, including email db, user's data and everything related to cpanel and restore it on the other server?


Thanks,

Goni

Ok, this sounds great. I also have found, copy all accounts option under backup from the control panel. That copies all the info including everything and that sounds to be working fine.

Is there any cpanel console command which will backup configuration files?

Hello Friend, You are posting a reply to a 9 year old thread !!! WOW, how did you find it? I am not sure about your question now, because since then cPanel has changed a lot. Would have to look into if you like. PM me if you need any help.
