Normally, the backend engineers use the cpanel script
/scripts/pkgacct
to take a backup of the account.
Then they use rsync to transfer to another server with a similar configuration. Once they are done,
/scripts/restorepkg
is executed to restore the account on the new server.
I assume the time took by the engineers was minimal because running this script from backend reduces the lag when it is run from the cpanel interface, and server to server rsync would be very fast because of the bandwidth they possess.
Normally, backend engineers on a shared server keep the mysql root password in a configuration file /root/.my.cnf so that they do not need to key in the password every time they connect to mysql. Since shared servers have hundreds of accounts and it is hectic to login as each user when needed (provided their passwords are provided by customers), we normally directly connect as root user to mysql, and do maintenance.

The above advice is good if you want to move from cPanel to any WHM/cPanel run VPS or Server, but you can't restore full-backup inside cPanel.

Hi,
i believe you are referring full backup means data files, database and emails.
when you restore the home directory, it will restore your website data files alongwith Email ids and it's data
To restore backup you need to take separate backup from the backup wizard ( it is the same process of taking backup of home directory. 1st option is home directory and 2nd option below it your will find database backup ) and easily you can restore to your destination cpanel
i have restored many sites by performing the same steps as mentioned above
regards

The best way to move data for cPanel accounts from one cPanel server to another is as follows:
1. Log into WHM on the new server as root
2. Click "Copy multiple accounts/packages from another server"
That will copy the data for the accounts that you select. This includes website data, emails, mailing lists, databases, etc.

As said by other, you need to download a MySQL full dump (export database with PHPMyAdmin), download all files, download all email accounts, take note of every single addon/parked/(sub)domain(s), and now you will need to import every single data a little per time.

Yes, that's how I used to do all the time... untill I met my last provider, who did it all for me in one hour, using migration feature available in Cpanel. My experience is here: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showpo...7&postcount=13

You could migrate the account in command line :
Create a backup file using the cPanel script pkgacct
# /scripts/pkgacct username
The backup file will include the webfiles,databases,email accounts
Move the account from one server to other using the command :
# scp -P port /home/username.tar.gz user@dstination server IP:/home/
Restore the account in cPanel server using the below commands:
# cd /home/
Use the cPanel script restorepkgto restore the account :
# /scripts/restorepkg - - force /home/username.tar.gz
The domain will be restored automatically
