I am trying to rebuild a new server on Debian 11 with DirectAdmin v.1.643 from a Centos 6 server running DirectAdmin v.1.63.5

The licence no longer works, DirectAdmin web control no longer works on the Centos machine.

I did the command line backup, as explained in the a guide here:

/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin admin-backup --destination=/home/admin/admin_backups

This command does not make all backups as suggested. Instead I get the error:

the required flag `--user' was not specified

Something not working here? I don't know. So next I do the same command again with --user=admin

This produces a very small admin.root.admin.tar.gz file.

I got this over to my new server and it will not restore it. Invalid file.

There must be something simple that I am missing. Is it possible to restore admin from one server to another?

Is there another command line method for backing up admin that will produce something I can restore
on the new server?

Kind regards all.
 
Ugh! Again I do this.... it works. It works perfectly. I just needed to read the guide closely and govern my fingers better as they type.

The link posted and the fact that people can read that it's really necessary to type correctly is of use.
If no one else reply's, the post will go lower by itself, they don't close or delete post normally, but no worries.

Good to see you found the issue and reported back the solution. It might be of more help to others than you think. ;)
