  Hello, It's not good idea to restored manually all configuration files. I will suggest you setup the offside backup of your all accounts so that you can restore all accounts from the offside backup

  Hello :) Restoring the /home directory manually is not supported or recommended. Instead, if you are going through the effort of backing up the entire /home directory, you should backup the accounts. The account backup archives generated through WHM include all of the data necessary to restore the account on a fresh installation of cPanel or another server with cPanel installed. Thank you.
