  It should be as easy as: Add another drive and mount it as /home2. Use the rearrange accounts feature in WHM to move accounts off of /home to /home2.

  Hello, If you have free space on your server then you can compress your data and extract it on your HDD. But first check you have sufficient free space on your server.

  Hello, This isn't a supported method of backing up the accounts because additional account data is stored outside of the /home directory. You'd want to generate backup for each account with the > Backup Configuration" and forcing a backup generation via the "/usr/local/cpanel/bin/backup --force" command. Thank you.
