server issue

download all the backups (ussually kept under /backups)

 

If you are having secure shell login software then you can do it from Option "New File tranfer window"

 

you can tar files per letter:

here is instructions:

cd /backup/cpbackup/

#create ftpbackup folder
mkdir ftpbackup

#go to your daily backups
cd /backup/cpbackup/daily

#tar files per letter
tar cvzf /backup/cpbackup/ftpbackup/abc.tar a*tar.gz b*tar.gz c*tar.gz

#next d e f g letters
tar cvzf /backup/cpbackup/ftpbackup/defg.tar d* e*tar.gz f* g*tar.gz

and so on....

and last go to your new server and use wget command to get your backups

good luck!

your say:

"take another long time to upload it again to the new server"

when you make backup transfers, you dont need to download backups local to yoor comp.

You can use wget and pickup backup from old server directly to your new server.
(and this is fastest option).
