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.
