Greetings. I'm pretty new to the world of WHM/cPanel as you might soon notice (hopefully not too badly).
I am moving from a shared hosting (old server) to a dedicated VPS (new server). A couple domains with its databases, email services and webapps are all working fine under a single cPanel user, but server performance is not appropriate at several points due to other websites in the machine. Thus, I need the new server to have dedicated resources and (I expect) better performance. cPanel reports a total usage of ~45GB of storage in the old server.
Using WHM's User Account Transfer a backup file of ~35GB is created and copied over from old to new server, but I am getting the following error message upon restore:
I am aware that this is just about not having enough space, but after spending hours with my hosting provider, I don't have an option to increase the storage of the VPS, not even by paying any amount or fee. Is there any way I can get this happening through another process or using the old server as some kind of external storage? I am open to all suggestions.
Thanks all in advance.
