I'd suggest not including public_html to cpmove backup, and then rsyncing it manually. Alternatively, you may convert the backup to DirectAdmin format on a server having more space, and transfer just DirectAdmin-format backup to this server for the restoration.

Great, thanks! I was thinking of separating the back up file as well.
It needs to be done on admin level.
I followed guide, I am facing 3 major problem :
1. Disk usage is not update ie. I can see sites moved and files are there but every account is showing 0 disk usage. Even after hours , its same.
2. It appears I can't login to any email Its showing error in maillog as :
I tried rebuild exim then dovecot as per discussion here:
https://forum.directadmin.com/threads/dovecot-exim-not-working.58002/
But still not working.
3. Since I am not able to login mail, I am not sure if mails were also restored, although I can see all user mail accounts are restored in DA admin, none of the login is working. It is also 12KB usage for all email accounts.

Tally is ran every night. Real-time quotas can be enabled too.
Please check if /etc/virtual/somedomain.net/passwd has test8 inside.
Ya, I noticed it but somehow I was not able to find reference for it , all I found was that DA does quotas in 15 min or so, hence after waiting for long enough, I came here. Most of the searches were taking me here : https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=578 which was ofcourse not relevant.
I had tried so many things at that but I suppose following fixed it.

I did a full backup of cPanel and renamed the archive as it appears in error.
I'd suggest creating a ticket at tickets.directadmin.com (or PM me personally if you have no support for your license, I'll assist you free of charge).
Hello,
I'm really new to DA.
Today I tried to transfer one account from cPanel to DA and get the following error:

what did I wrong?
thank you!

looks like archive broken, maybe you start copying before account was totally backuped, maybe there was not enough space where you create it, maybe creation was broken (killed process). Try to create new Cpanel backup, copy to directadmin server and restore again

Just finished another round of cPanel to DA migrations for email only servers and thought my feedback might be of value both to leadership and other users, as the cPanel to DA conversion script has been updated since my last bit of feedback.
Two significant things failed:
- Subdomains that were added as Addon Domains in cPanel ended up missing (I intentionally instruct my users to do this and cPanel does allow it, long story but legit use case)
- Catchall emails did not migrate
Email filters not migrating remains relevant to note but not something to hope for a resolution, that's not a reasonable thing to migrate.

What was the version of the conversion script? May you provide 1 cpmove file for a test?

We did a recent single user transfer from a cPanel server to a DirectAdmin server and it looks like the mailclient did not get new mail although the mail was available in webmail. After re-adding the mail account the mail was synchronised correctly again. Is this expected?
DirectAdmin version 1.61.4
cpanel_to_da version 0.0.47
DirectAdmin version 1.61.4
cpanel_to_da version 0.0.47
Do you mean email account was not created/migrated?

The email account was migrated, but new mail did not show up in Outlook (I think, still checking in on this) until account was removed and re-added to Outlook.
[edit]: The mailclient is Postbox 7.0.30, might be a client issue. Mail did show up on mobile without re-adding account so will test this further with another customer.

Seems that catch-all email forwarding configuration is not correctly configured by the migration script. When configured to point to an email address in cPanel, it's left at the default in DirectAdmin.
