Moving DirectAdmin Servers - Accounts/Config/Data

[Real-Hosts]

Hi Folks,

I'm in a pickle (it's past 2am right now) and a customer has asked us to migrate DirectAdmin (all his config/data/clients etc) from his current dedicated server with DirectAdmin, to the new one. The IPs are the same, and have been migrated. The new server is live, and old server is on a temp. IP (I think DirectAdmin on it has died because DA License conflict)

How can we move the clients/data/config across?
A set of scripts to do it? I'm rather confused as where to start!

A fast-ish response would be fab

Cheers folks,
Joel Samuel.

Hello,

This is our "official" transfer guide:

Note that you'll need to have all the user backups already, if DA is dead on the other machine.

Temp licenses are available if you are doing a transfer (only if you need it though)

Looks like this is what we're after. Not sure why/how DA died, I was assuming it was the license problem. We had no sure fix on how to move, so we changed all IPs back to the original server.

Giving us time to make sure we have it all ready for the 'leap' before we change IPs again. minimal downtime that way

Thanks again.
