Hello, is there a script available to transfer all my cPanel data and files etc. to a new server? I've just changed server but I need to get all of my cPanel settings onto it. Thanks in advance. :)

You can copy account from another server via whm >> Copy an account from another server

This allows you to copy an account from another server without that account's password. You will need the root password of the server that the account resides on.

Hope this helps

If you don't have root password it can still be done see: 'Copy an account from another server with account password' in WHM.

Ok, thanks. I left it overnight and when I came back, it had stopped on the following process:

Verifying tarball checksum.....Checksum Matches (Actual username is *****)!
Remote file is: /home/cpmove-******-split/cpmove-******.tar.gz.part16

How can I fix this or get it to resume? Thank you.

Good morning from Greece,


Yes, you should start transfer all over again. Although I must say that the filename (part16) means that your website is extremely big (1.6GB zipped at least) and there might be a slight delay while tarring/untarring it.

ok, My site is 10.6 GB, can anyone tell me approximately how long will it take for it to transfer? Thanks.

There are many things invloved to say how much time you'll need to transfer 10.6GB of data including network speed of the datacenter(s), time of the transfer, and the server itself. We tarsnferred client's data from one server to another and from one data center to another.

The two servers have the exact same specs:

Processor #1 Vendor: GenuineIntel
Processor #1 Name: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz
Processor #1 speed: 2394.465 MHz
Processor #1 cache size: 1024 KB

Could you tell me approximately how long it will take 10Gbs or is there anywhere I can look to see the overall progress of the transfer? It has now been running for 50 hours.

They seem to be transferring randomly and not in numerical order. For example the current part is part8 but the part before it was part 70 .Could someone even tell me how many parts there would be in 10 Gbs?

Well, have you tried -instead of trying to transfer the site- using the existing .tar.gz file your server created when he backs up your site? I believe it should be much more easier.
Do you mean using the Full Backup option in cPanel and then downloading it?

If you download a "Home Directory Backup" from cpanel, that will download your fiels, databases, everything on your site, as well as all neomail.pl files. .. Everything!

To move to another server simply get your home backup (NOT Generate a Backup) Take the current site as it is at the time-- Click on 'Download a home directory backup' then go to new cpanel on new server where your new host account is created. You need only to click the backup icon or link in that cpanel, and then upload the backup.

Remember, it may take awhile depending upon your connection speed. But, I do this all of the time and it's really that simple!
