Hi,
The hosting company is telling us they need to replace the hard drive. But they will not move the current server data along. They say we need to take care of backup and restore.
The server has over 100 domains in there. Each cPanel account has mailboxes, databases, files, cron jobs, and so on. Over time, there have been some additions installed into it like FDFToolkit for Php and Image Magick, to name 2 examples.
We don't have experience in backing up an entire disk to load the data back on the new drive. Can anyone who has done this before help us? What should we do to be able to restore the server as it is now the soonest?
We don't have physical access to the server, just remote via SSH.
Thanks for any help on this matter.
