Restoring full backup's

[logikstudios]

Hey.
I am new to the full admin of WHM (use to reseller) anyway. I have created full back up's on another server and downloaded them onto my hard drive. How to i get those backups onto my server so i can restore the account. what i have been doing is creating the users and copying the home directorys and emails and databases. I have about 12 accounts that has to much information that i don't no. e.g database passwords, Ftp accounts, Protected directory's etc.


Thanks,
Nathaniel

Hello.

Make some account for your backup files. Upload the files via FTP into the recently created account. Then log in to SSH of your new server and move the backup files in /home/. When it is done you can restore the accounts using "restore full backup from cpmove". The mentioned option is accessible via WHM.

if you backup/restoration configured for your new box, once you have generated the backup, upload it to /backup/cpbackup/daily ( assuming you have backup configured and is mounted to /backup ), login to WHM > Restore Account, and you should see the account there. Restore from there and let Cpanel do the jobs for you :p

You need to use the command 'cp'

the commands will be like:

#cd /home/$ACCOUT_USERNAME/
#cp backup* ../

Hi. I have the full account back up on the server in one account. Is there a way to move the back up from one folder to another.

 

[tweakservers]

are you trying to restore it from the WHM? you may use the cp command shows by krava or optionally use the command mv to move the files from one folder to another folder.

Location of file is /home/backups/public_html/backups/daily/cpmove-media4sc.tar.gz

The correct command is:
#mv /home/backups/public_html/backups/daily/cpmove-media4sc.tar.gz /home/

just copy and paste the command.

MV moves files, so the source files will be removed once they are copied to the new place.
