I'm just a reseller, so I have limited access to the servers. I don't have access to the automated copy-procedure, but I need to transfer some accounts from one server to another.
I could ask someone with full access to the target server to do it, but I'd rather do it myself for several reasons.
If I do a simple full backup from an accounts cPanel, create a similar account on target server, login to cPanel using the new accounts, and then restoring, would that work?
Anything I should be aware of?
Also, DNS caching will cause a period where both servers are used. Data for the websites is easy, both webservers just use the same MySQL server.
But how about emails? I don't want to ask lots of people (some of them is anything else than geeky) to check mail on two servers. But how can I get the old server to deliver all mails for these cPanel accounts to the new server? Any ideas?
