Dear all, I just purchase a new server with WHM/Cpanel, and I would like to copy/transfers all my accounts from OLD server to NEW server using SSH commands, how do I do that ? (I know WHM has a function to copy account to new server using web browser, but I don't want to use that, it is too slow, and I want to use SSH. By the way both servers are using WHM/Cpanel) Thank you very much ! Sincerely, Calvin

  Hello, Please try with the following steps. 1) First create the backup on your server with /scripts/pkgacct command ( /scripts/pkgacct USERNAME) 2) SCP your all account backup file to new server under the home directory 3) Restore migrated backup files on new server through /scripts/restorepkg scripts ( /scripts/restorepkg USERNAME) Let me know if you have any other question.
