Are there any good software that will backup current server files and restore them on a new server?
I'm looking for full backup, that would backup all the files in less time instead of going to each account's cpanel first and downloading backup than restoring it to new server.
is there any soft for windows who can transfer files from one server to another? I have Shell access on both servers but dont know how to do that via shell..is there any GUI soft for windows where I can on one window see files from one server and on other to see files from second server?
In reference to my previous post, i want to tranfer accross 7GB of data, approximatly 80,000 files i believe it is (due to a gallery script).
It's currently on another host (on a webhosting account) which uses their own control panel which has no options but to manage databases, the only way i can see to do this is via FTP but it'll take me days. I've tried using compressing and backup scripts, but the damn execution time on the hosts server is too low to allow the files to be zipped. Are there any ways? Can i login to my VPS via SSH and anyhow pull off the files from the other hosts server?
how to transfer files through my windows server and my Pc?
i tried many software but all of them depends on my Pc speed, so it transfer very slow, i tried also before connecting through RDC to windows server, to check on Local resources " Disc Drives" but also transfer files slowly,
i want any speed software to copy files as if there are in same Hard drives
I'm in the process of switching to a new host for my websites. My old host is Servage and my new host is Dreamhost.
I'm looking for a way to directly transfer all my files from Servage to Dreamhost (i.e. don't transfer them via my PC).
Whilst Dreamhost offers a whole suite of access to their servers, Servage only offers FTP (no SFTP, no SCP, no SSH, no RSYNC). Servage also don't give any ability to create a tar.gz of my files (I tried to use a Perl script to execute a shell command to tar my files, but it didn't work )
So currently the only way I can see to get the files across to Dreamhost is to use the ftp command (via SSH on Dreamhost), but this command is severely limiting because mget can't transfer directories - it can only transfer files in a directory.
Can anyone see an easy way for me to get all files across to my new host?
I've been asking a fair few question lately here on WHT. You've all been a great help so far. I just ordered two new servers from www.northstorm.net. I want to take all my video files from my previous host, and transfer them over to my new host. There's roughly 100 files which is a total of about 8GB. I have a php script which can copy the files manually, one by one, but that's the last resort as I'm not very keen on that idea.
I have root access to both servers so I can pretty much do what I want with them. What's the best way to grab the entire contants of a ftp folder and transfer it over? I need to copy the files from my old host to one of my new servers, and then copy the files between my two new dedicated servers.
I have following problem-i have over 20 sites on server and each site has own database.Is there a way to speed up backup and transfer or other server?
Method which i use right now it's following:first i archive entire directory using command tar -pczf name.tar.gz public_html,and then repeat with each directory.But i think i could simply archive all requied directories,but that will took toomuch time,so if i drop connection during archiving it wont be archived at all then.So i think best solution will be to create some kind of batch command which can load in background,so that means command wont stop if client lost connection.
So let's say i have 2 sites and two directories located and different places.
One is at home/site1 and other at home/site2 So i think i would need to put command into batch file tar -pczf site.tar.gz. /home/site1 and tar -pczf site2.tar.gz /home/site2
Will that work? Also second part,mysql databases,i founded if i login into phpmyadmin as root i can see all databases.I managed to export all databases,but question will import again to phpmyadmin work.I think phpmyadmin create command for each database "if there is no db sitename_mysqlbase,create it",but howmuch i know phpmyadmin have limit with importing size of mysql database.Could that be done with import/export mysql command?
transfer a client's site files (over 220 MB) to my server. The client does not use cPanel or have SSH access.
FTP is horribly tedious. I have created the account on my server and have SSH enabled. I have a feeling I can use wget to download the files to the account's home directory, but I am not sure of the correct syntax to recursively download all the directories and the files.
We had some issues with old server hence we migrated some websites to another new server from our old server.
We did a backup of all existing webfiles and database from old server and transferred the same to new server, a manual transfer few weeks ago.
However, we were not able to backup our awstats logs for this domains, can someone guide how to transfer awstats from old server to new server?
We cannot perform an automated transfer from old server to new server now, is there some way we can migrate our awstats from old server to new server for this domains?
I have a vps (CPANEL)... I would like to have incoming emails for a certain cpanel account transfer to another external server (after coming thru the VPS).
I store my emails on the external server and have more space there.
The reason behind this is:
I have spamassassin on my VPS and would like to run email thru that before it delivers on the external server. I do not have the capability to install spamassassin on the external server.
I changed servers. It's been three days since we swapped DNS, and I have a slew of people that still can't access anything.
The thing is, the old server should have been set up to forward everyone to the new server, and it wasn't initially. This was done by the admin company by changing the "localhost" setting on the old config file for the mysql database to the new server's IP address.
So, I have people, a LOT of people, who have been unable to reach anything for the last three days. Neither old server nor new server. Nothing, zip, nada.
Yesterday, the admin company said that they had found something wrong with port 80, and had changed the settings, and we began to see some traffic, FINALLY. I though maybe we were fixed, but this morning, I still have a crapload of emails from people who can't reach anything.
This was a cPanel to cPanel swap, in the same datacenter, on the same vlan.
We're working on Day 4 here, and everyone seems to be guessing, and In get the sense that if I don't stay proactive, nothing will be resolved.
Thing is, I know just enough about this stuff to be dangerous, which is why I pay professional server admins.
I have read some in this forum and the sites I saw linked to others seemed ok but none I've seen really gave me options on more bandwidth.
I figured I would just post what I need and my budget and see if anyone could help me out or point me in the right direction and it be a site I havn't seen before.
I am currently with another dedicated provider that I will not name but I messed up something simple (I know what it is) while trying to add an ip to the box. I submitted a ticket Friday morning at 4am EST time explaing exactly what I need done, and how to do it just so they don't have to even research it. Needless to say the ticket was not even TOUCHED all day today (Friday) and now I am told it will not be looked at until Monday. This means I am without a server for the weekend unless I want to pay a good chunk for "emergency support". I personally find this absurd and think something simple should be a phone call away.
I typed all of this out to explain why I am looking for a new server.
I need a decent (but not hard core) processor, preferably not celeron or sempron.
Atleast 1 gig of ram and 100-200 gig or so HD. The biggest thing I need is transfer, I honestly do not care if its a 10 or 100Mbps port. I need atleast 3 to 4 TB (4000 GB) of transfer.
I just signed up with a new host. How long should I expect it to transfer sites through WHM? I know it depends on the size of the sites but how long does the average 100M site?
I have to move 140 domains from my old cpanel dedicated server to the new one and have root access on both.
Earlier I wanted to avoid copying unnecessary files and was thinking of creating fresh domains/emails on new server and transfering content, but then realised that it will need more than 160 hours of manual labour (including informing clients that their passwords have changed).
Please advice as to which transfer method will be best based on the following constraints:
1. 70 domains will be done one week and remaining 70 next week while both servers continue to run.
2. On the new server all domains will have different nameservers.
METHOD 1. Putting same version of WHM-stable on both servers and using its "Copy an account from old server" feature. After copying the 70 accounts (one-by-one seems to cause less issues with large sites) we change nameservers for those 70 domains over the weekend.
METHOD 2: For every account on old server use "Generate a full cp backup" and let cPanel FTP it to a dummy account on the new server. Restore on new server and change nameservers for those 70 domains over the weekend.
METHOD 3: Run "/scripts/pkgacct username" on old server, move the tar.gz file to new new server. Restore on new server and change nameservers for those 70 domains over the weekend.
METHOD 4: Reduce TTL for A records on old server. Use WHM "Copy an account" on new server. Then modify DNS on old server to point to new server IPs. Now change nameservers at Registrar.
METHOD 5: Asking my datacenter people to use rsync etc. But this will move all data together,
I have a dedicted server (Windows) i am not satisfy with the current company
In these days i decided to move to another company but the new company (liquidweb) reject to transfer the accounts from old server to the new one

I am moving a site from one provider to another. My client wants to keep the existing webalizer stats after the transfer. Could anybody help with how to do the transfer and to make webalizer continue working on the new server?
One of my Cpanel servers is showing heavy data transfer this month. In 6 days, it crossed 600 GB data transfer which is equal to what it did last month. Also, all the websites collectively have only consumed around 60 GB data transfer in 6 days. How do I find out what exactly is causing heavy data transfer?
