Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Restoring a full backup in WHM??

[build-a-host]

Hi all, I have a customer who has 5 domains that need to be setup using backups from his previous host. I have uploaded all the .tar.gz files to my main accounts public_html folder, and the techs have told me to "Copy" the backup to the /home directory, but I cant figure out how to copy the files to another directory.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

cd /home/username/public_html
mv some-backupfile.tar.gz /home/

repeat the mv (move) command as needed for the backups. Then restore via whm or

/scripts/restorepkg some-username
