I'm using command below to restore a user-level backup, which was from an account with unlimited resources,
Code:
echo "action=restore&ip%5Fchoice=file&local%5Fpath=__file_path__&owner=admin&select%30=__file_name__&type=admin&value=multiple&when=now&where=local\" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
But the current account which this backup is going to be restored to, has many limitations on resources like disk and bandwidth,
Using that command will restore the data successfully but will also override the limitations and make the account an unlimited one,
How can I force the restore to not replacing the limitations?
 
I guess you'll need to change limits back after restoration manually.
Or re-pack it with current settings...and when restore as usual.
 
Isn't there any option or flag to pass to restore script and it ignores the settings in backup file?
 
Haven't you already checked it? I don't see anything like this on reseller level backups... and don't see it on admin level backups either. So I'd guess you need to post a feature request on these forums. Is it something like... do not change package settings on restore.
 
Might this not cause a restored backup to immediately cause a site suspension?
