Partial home folder restore

Hello there I'm migrating some domains from my old whm to the new one, I do so by backuping home folder, db and forwarders and restoring them in the new whm. So far so good, i successfuly migrated all of them except 2 big domains that have a backup size of 1.8GB and 2.9GB. When i restored these backups in the new whm i found out that almost half of the data hasn't been restored, i see the correct number of email accounts in the Stats column but if i try to look for them in the Email Accounts section i can't see them. In the filemanager of the new server I also noticed that there are way less files and folders, some of them are empty or sized 0KB, which is actually not their size in the old filemanager. I tried backing up and restoring multiple times by now, even recreating the account in the new whm, but nothing changed the partial result of the restore. Am i doing something wrong?

  Hello :) Do you notice any error messages when packaging the account or restoring it through the command line? EX:
  /scripts/pkgacct $username /scripts/restorepkg $username
  Have you considered using the "Transfer Tool" option offered in Web Host Manager? Thank you.
