Hi,
I have about 2K email forwards I have to copy from one server to another. Since I can't bulk download email forwards, I tried to rsync from server1:/etc/avalias to server2:/etc/valiases

But they don't show up. Is there is anyway to copy all of these on the command line to get these to show up?

They were the same name, but not likely the same UID:GUID. I didn't check that.

Similarly, there is a question on being able to bulk export subdomains and re-import. We did end up being able to use API to do bulk import, but it would be great to be able to easily export/re-import a lot of cpanel settings from server to server without having to use the transfer too as that would require setting up a trust relationship between the two servers :)
