Hello.

If your VPS is configured and tuned up, then copy your backups in /home and restore them using the WHM option called "Restore a Full Backup/cpmove file".

Anyway, you can move all your accounts from the old server using "Copy an account from another server". I guess the old servers works under cPanel too.

i tried to copy the accounts but the proccess failed.

then i go to my old server and take a backup by these steps

CPanel > Backups > Generate/Download a Full Backup

then i select my new server after the process done i go to my new server and found
backup. how restore it.

i tried to restore it manual by download in my computer then upload it again.

the big problem that what will expriced in my another website because it's very big
and the manual restore will be not valid.

Copy the backup in root of /home or /usr/home and restore the backups using the option "Restore a Full Backup/cpmove file". Show me what error message you get if the restoration is failed.

thanks


sorry where can i fine a home directory and how can i creat an ftp user for root because i don;t have user.

Create any account on your VPS and upload the backup files into it via FTP, then log in to your VPS via SSH as root and do following:

#cd /home/$USERNAME
#ls -l

there you will find your backup files.

copy them in root of /home using the command:
#cp backup_file_name ../

Then you can restore the accounts via WHM "Restore a Full Backup/cpmove file".

please contact the company which sold the VPS for you if your don't know how to log in to your VPS as root via SSH. They will provide with with details.

Also, $USERNAME must be replaced with the account's username in the command:
cd /home/$USERNAME
