SOLVED Restore legacy backup with new backup system

[carock]

Is there a way to restore the old backup system backups with the new backup system?

I've migrated old accounts from cPanel server running the old backup system. I missed one and the server is no longer around.

Is there a way to restore one of those old backups on the new server?

Thanks,
Chuck

Chuck,

Just use SSH to do the restore

/scripts/restorepkg /location/to/the/backup.tar.gz

Chuck,

Just use SSH to do the restore

/scripts/restorepkg /location/to/the/backup.tar.gz

The backups are just directories, not zip files.

Can I just tar.gz the directory?

/storage/cpanel2/cpbackup/daily
# ls
./ carri/ schauc/ graph/ monog/ schick/ stlm/
../ chucktem/ files/ graphi/ pettail/ shpark/ stlou/

Inside those directories are the files and directories for the account.

./ cp/ homedir_paths mma/ proftpdpasswd sds2 suspended/ vf/
../ cron/ httpfiles/ mms/ psql/ shadow suspendinfo/
addons digestshadow ips/ mysql/ quota shell userconfig/
bandwidth/ dnszones/ locale/ mysql-timestamps/ resellerconfig/ ssl/ userdata/
bandwidth_db/ domainkeys/ logs/ mysql.sql resellerfeatures/ sslcerts/ va/
bandwidth_db.json has_sslstorage meta/ nobodyfiles resellerpackages/ ssldomain vad/

Hello @carock,

Yes, you should be able to archive the directory into a .tar.gz file and then restore it using the command referenced in the earlier response.

Thank you.

You shouldn't even need to tarball them, as long as the directory structure is the same you can just restore the path to the account like

/scripts/restorepkg /storage/cpanel2/cpbackup/daily/schauc

Everything worked, thank you everyone for your help.
