You will have to do it one at a time through WHM on your dedicated. If you had root access to the server they are on now you would be able to do them all at the same time. Also, you will need account username and password for each account to make the switch. Maybe a good idea to make a temp root password for your new dedicated box and give that to your reseller host so they can login to your new box and make the switch all at once since they have root pass for the box the sites are on. Its not that hard and not very time consuming that way.
A breif answer: One at a time with each user/pass or
:all at once with other server root pass.

Allthough I have never tried, You may be able to copy account just by copying your master reseller account and moving all sites over under that. I'm not sure....
Anybody???

TTomasz.

ask your current host that you need a back up of the sites ask him just to copy them to your current domain hom directory so you can down load them.

once that is done wget them in to you SM box and restor them.

that will be one way.

the other way is moving them one by one, try moving one if it did not work contact me by e-mail i will help you on that there are other tricks could be used.

Try it one by one but dont overload the server by opening multiple windows unless it has a good CPU and at least a gig of ram.

If that does not work then here is the long way... Find someone to make a script that will speed this process. Here is what you need to do.

Make individual backups of the ones that will not copy over.

Then...

assume the backup file is named as follows:
/home/backup-00.00.00_11-11-11_username.tar.gz tar

it will probably best be located in a backup directory in root, e.g. /my_backups
/my_backups/backup-00.00.00_11-11-11_username.tar.gz tar

Regardless of where it is located:

Step 1. In SSH go to where the file is located:
root# cd /my_backups/backup-00.00.00_11-11-11_username.tar.gz tar

Step 2. Untar/Unzip the file
This will expand into a directory with the same name as the file (without the .tar.gz. on the end)
root# zxf backup-00.00.00_11-11-11_username.tar.gz


Step 3. Send a copy of the directory to the home directory (renamed as cpmove-username)
root# mv backup-00.00.00_11-11-11_username /home/cpmove-username

Step 4. Execute the backup script
root# /scripts/restorepkg username

Step 5. Check/change permissions
For whatever reason my chmod settings for /home/username/public_html were 750 and I changed it to 755 (751 might also work)

In SSH
root# cd /home/username/
root# chmod 755 public_html

Step 6. Reinstall any SSL Certs via WHM
