[WTA] Restore cPanel Backup to DirectAdmin

[alex2k]

Hello,

Can someone help me to do Restore Backup from cPanel to DirectAdmin?
I don't have SSH access in cPanel server, cause I only have reseller account.

I did backup each account through cPanel and got file backup name like backup-9.15.2023_18-34-46_username.tar.gz
Now I want to restore it to DirectAdmin server, I have root access in DA server.

How to do the restore?
I'm using DA v1.652
Thank you...

Just rename the backup file to cpmove-username.tar.gz and it should be fine.

Could you show me step by step to Restore it?

Just like he said. Rename the file to cpmove-username.tar.gz and use the same username which was used in cPanel.
Then use the admin backup/restore function to restore the account.

Be aware, some things in cPanel are different, usernames might be too long, so mind these considerations (and solutions).

Solved - CPanel to DA conversion script question, no cp-move files but other maybe similar files?

Some customer had to get out on a hoster with cPanel. My collegue admin has gotten backup files, which are not cpmove.user.tar.gz files. That customers does not have any access anymore to his cPanel account. The files are called like backup-6.10.2023_22-33-34_domain.tar.gz without the domain...

I have created the folder converted_user_backup but when I go to the restore page in DA I don't see any files, even followed the guide to create a folder called all_backups and still nothing shows

Did you change the restore directory in the DA GUI to the new directory first? Because by default it's pointing to admin_backups so you have to change that.
