    Hi,

    I have a reseller account with Cpanel which using a nameservers ns1.abc.com and ns2.abc.com, and now I want to move all my accounts to another dedicated server with different IPs, but I dont want delete my old accounts until transferring all cpanel data and user files, and then if everything will be ok, I will delete my first reseller account data. I need to do it with a minimum site downtime. Thinking to make a new nameservers ns3.abc.com and ns4.abc.com, but dont know how? Or is there any other easy and safe way?

    The most straightforward way is to move the accounts and then switch the IP addresses of the name servers to point to the new server. Most people will switch immediately, but some will always go to the old server for a time until DNS progagates. Have a search on the forums as the topic has been covered many times if you need more information.

    Sorry, the copy failed. Unable to find the cpanel user file. Is the archive missing (cwd: /home loaded mysite/cp/mysite)?

    Well, this is a different issue. It's more likely that the transfer is timing out. You'll need to download the backup of the site manually and add it in. A search on the forums will throw up threads where that has been discussed many times before.

    because I have dial-up connection it is very hard to download a backup :confused: , is it possible to make a remote ftp backup and then extract all cpanel data as is?

    yes as long as you have ssh you should be able to ftp the back-ups from server to server without having to download them to your system
