Move a user to a new server - john - 11-11-2025
The current restore function accepts backups generated by both VestaCP and HestiaCP.
1. Create a user backup on the old server.
v-backup-user username
2. Copy the generated tarball to the new server and place it in /backup.
scp /backup/username.2020.01.01-00-00.tar root@host.domain.tld:/backup/
3. Restore the backup on the new server. You can restore to a different user by changing the username in the command.
v-restore-user username username.2020.01.01-00-00.tar
User accounts that do not exist will be created.
