Again, that is not from the admin backup/restore command. That is a user backup. Admin backup/transfer backups are not named like that.
This is admin user level backup.

I'd just like to add, don't forget customisations as well as the admin/Server level backup only backs up what you tell it to and what is on the list. Important things like the /etc/csf files may get missed. You'd lose all your custom settings and blocklists etc and have to setup the firewall from scratch.
Thanks for your help, I'll fire up a Windows machine and install Termius later.
I assume I should install everything on the new machine as admin rather than root.
Are there any directories that shouldn't be moved?
Regards
Nick

Grab a look at these pages and it should give you an idea, If you've made any customisations, copy those across.
directadmin.com
/etc/bind folder is important
/etc/csf copy your config files across
/etc/ssh/sshd_config so you can log in with same credentials (if needed)
/usr/local/directadmin/data/ - in this folder you'll have things for the DA saetup such as customised skins
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/custom - if you have any custom scripts
and so on.. (Sure others on here will advise on other things and how they manage it)
Tip: If you copy across the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and it's customised with another port to mask 22, copy across, enable and restart ssh and open another session with the new port in a new terminal to check it works before you close this session. It will save you getting locked out (Learnt the hard way years ago
)
Good luck!
