Hello! It is possible to recreate cPanel accounts only from /home contents? Thanks

  This would not be possible as the database files are stored in /var/lib/mysql

  You have all the reason. I do not know how I did not think about it. I had the idea of using external volumes for home directories and in case of disaster attach them to a new server. o_O

  You should use the cpanel backups and store those on the remote volume

  When you consider the automated fashion you can restore the cpanel backups it really is the most time efficient method

  I'd like to second what @GOT is saying, a cPanel backup contains everything you'd need to restore the account. If you did this manually you'd need to get data from several different locations and restore it manually to those places.
