How to migrate user to the new server VestaCP

1. Make user backup on the old server. In this example we will use admin as the reference.

# v-backup-user admin

2. Copy tarball to the new server and place it in the /home/backup directory

scp /home/backup/admin.2014-01-14.tar new-server:/home/backup/

3. Restore backup on the new server

# v-restore-user admin admin.2014-01-14.tar

If you want to restore data under another user name, simply rename archive. If user name doesn’t exist on the server, account will be created automatically.

mv /home/backup/admin.2019-01-154.tar /home/backup/newuser.2019-01-15.tar
v-restore-user newuser newuser.2015-01-15.tar
