    I have been transfering accounts all day, and when the backup is restored on another server the symbolic link is all screwed up.

    Example:

    lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 93 Jun 27 18:07 advanced-cache.php -> /home/cpmove-user/homedirpublic_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-cache/wp-cache-phase1.php


    When restored it should have been fixed:

    /home/user/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-cache/wp-cache-phase1.php

    Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.

    We have opened an internal case and assigned it to the Transfers Developer.

    It should be fixed on forthcoming builds.

    Hello,

    Folder permissions are also NOT being converted as they were before. Leaving PHP scripts failing.
