Full Server Backup

[gdenaxas]

Happy new year to all! How can I create a full backup file using SSH on my VPS? I'd like to do that so I can transfer our customers to a new full dedicated server. Additionally, how can I restore it then?

Hi,

You can't .. you better install the fresh server, and start a migration on the new server. Works for me.

Don't forget to remember your chmod flags and re-use them on your new server.

Using the Migration Manager is probably the easiest option. If you want to go the backup/restore route, check out the 'Backing Up and Restoring Your Data' chapter in the Administrator's Guide.
