Thank you,
just to make sure that I understand correct.
the idea is to migrate on the same server, without downtime etc.

So, step will be:
1.
export ALLOW_BACKUP_ANYTIME='yes'
nice -n 19 ionice -c 3 v-backup-user UsernameOfAccount
2. Copy files from /backup to some folder on the server, or to computer
3. Remove old VestaCP on the server
4. Install myVesta on the server
5. Create /backup folder on new myVesta (if it's not already created)
6. Now copy your generated backup files from server (or from your computer) to /backup folder on myVesta
7. Restore backup
nice -n 19 ionice -c 3 v-restore-user UsernameOfAccount UsernameOfAccount.2020-06-20_01-10-02.tar

You understood correctly.

It's not possible to do that 'without downtime'.
Even if there were a magical transforming script to convert Vesta to myVesta, in the best case you have Debian 10, which has been an EOL version for a while.
