Introduction
You can restore an account as a different user if you change the username when you move an account between servers.
Procedure
This example changes the account name from olduser
to newuser
:
1. Back up the old user on the old server:
/scripts/pkgacct olduser
2. Copy the backup file from the old server to the new server.
3. Restore the backup file as the new user:
/scripts/restorepkg --newuser newuser /home/cpmove-olduser.tar.gz
4. Update any account user references in the new account from olduser
to newuser
. This will need to be done for site database settings and any full paths to files and directories in the home directory for the account.
