How much space is needed when transferring an account to a new server?

Question

When using the Transfer Tool to move accounts from one WHM server to another, is there a general amount of space recommended to have available?

Answer

When transferring accounts to a new server, we recommend having at least two times the largest account plus another 1 GB.

We encourage users to have more space if possible to handle any unforeseen overhead.
