How to convert from cp to da on an existing server?
Not installing da on the new server, then migrating!

I don't think you can, or at least it is not advised....

Any reason not to setup a new server?

Someone was working on a non supported bash script. However like pointed out. It’s not supported or recommended.

The first step states Clean OS install

here and migration script but you have to have enough space to store backups (or to be able to attach space) https://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=58104

Use on Your Own RISK !!! It is in supper Alpha stage...

I personally wont use it !!! But do a migration or backup reinstall put the backups back on the server and the restore!!!
