How-to: restore cPanel backup in DirectAdmin

Can I change the name manually? or do I have to change on Godaddy's Cpanel?
And do I have to delete my goddady cpanel before I restore backup in DA?

Thank you,

Yes, you can rename it manually. Removal of real account is not needed, as you are restoring to a new box.

Thank you so much,

I've got one more question;
after I restored my backup to DA, how do I import my domain to DA?

Yes I currently on Shared hosting in Godaddy and bought my domain from GoDaddy. I could not figure out how to transfer hosting to my VPS/DA server.

Could you give me some directions please?

After I changed the username max lenght now I get this error;

Those were just warnings :) Do you have any issues with the account?

I see it did not restore "domain.com" as it already existed on the server (you cannot have 2 accounts owning the same domain name),.

So you are saying it's succesfully restored on my vps?

How do I point my godaddy domain to my vps?
 
So I'm assuming by using this method I can move from a shared hosting using cpanel (no ssh access) to my new KVM vps with directadmin, is that correct?

If you have a cpmove-user.tar.gz file, it can now be restored directly in DA interface. Please note this functionality is new, so, please test it carefully until we get more feedback :) Please make sure it's you who created cpmove-user.tar.gz backup for security purposes, because at this moment we fully trust the content inside, thus available on admin level only. This might change later.

Change is described here: https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=2398

Just update your DirectAdmin to 1.57.3 and it should work out-of-the-box. You should be able to restore cpmove-user.tar.gz files directly in DirectAdmin "Admin Backup/Transfer" feature.

This is also relevant for me right now. A full site backup has been performed in the root folder of the website on a server I have no admin access to (/home/domain) I have renamed my full name from backup-4.12.2022_16-59-20_airsupplybv.tar.gz to cpmove-airsupplybv.tar.gz
Got an error that the name can be no longer than 10 characters long whereas it's 11 characters, so I renamed it to cpmove-airsupplyb.tar.gz
See error below.

This has not worked for me so far. Is there an update on this?
