How to restore admin user account in a new server

[ajax20]

Hi

I have installed DA on a VPS with Admin user account as the only user (except for the root) in the whole panel. I just wanted to know the process of restoring the backup I make in Admin Level's "Admin Backup/Transfer". I mean, after I migrate to a new server, and install DA panel, I already have an admin user account. Then, should I just restore the old backed up admin user account through the same "Admin Backup/Transfer" in Admin level?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Yes, you should.

We've done full restore of admin in the past. The main problem we see is that we'll end up with the admin password of the admin account being restored. So keep that in mind if you lose access.
