Hi dpeca,
I have one server which still using VestaCP and I wanted to migrate to myVesta.
What is the easiest way to migrate if this server are using CentOS?
Or maybe should I just install myVesta from scratch and import the MySQL databases?
Thanks,
bfcrew

- On CentOS, as root, run: v-backup-users
- Copy files from /backup to some remote server
- Install myVesta
- Create /backup folder
- Backups files from remote server copy to /backup folder on myVesta server
- On myVesta server, as root, run: v-restore-user UsernameOfAccount UsernameOfAccount.2020-06-20_01-10-02.tar (of course use proper username and filename that exists)

Advice: don't kill old server before you bring everything on new.
Or, if it's cloud, please make snapshot of old server before you kill it.
I saw situations where people got corruptred backups because there was no free space on old server to make full backup.
They didn't noticed that (they didn't check /usr/local/vesta/log/backup.log) and killed server with thinking that everything is in backup files.
They had supprise when they tried to restore them on new server

Ah I see, thanks for the advice.
Yes it is in a cloud, I'll make a snapshot before doing this.
