Hello guys,
Simple question. Let's say i have generated a full backup on one domain name say xxx.com
i want can't use copy server tools or copy account from another server option from new server.
it is possible to install an ftp client on my old host (no root access) and push the backup on the new account?
because manually downloading and uploding is difficult for us our internet is too slow.
regards,
Sebastien

When generating a full backup, you can choose where you'd like to save/upload the backup. You can save it automatically to your /home directory, or you can upload backup via FTP to remote location (your new server). You need to know the FTP user/pass/port/hostname of the new server, and the backup file will be uploaded to your new server without any issues. This is the cPanel backup setup image: https://goo.gl/Lbk7XQ

Well this host has put some kind of restriction. We don't have backup wizard only backup. Can't put remote ftp and can't browse server by url (temp url)

Go to your cPanel account >> Files >> Backup (not Backup wizard) >> Click on "Download a full website backup" and you will see this: http://i.imgur.com/bXrnufNl.png (select FTP (passive mode transfer) in the "Backup destination" dropdown bar)
I hope this will help a bit, if this feature is not disabled for you as well.

You can do it the other way, use FTP on the VPS to pull the backup file directly from your shared host.
On the VPS run via SSH:
ftp ip_address_of_your_old_server (for example, ftp 11.22.33.44 )
it will ask for username, enter the cPanel username that you have on your old host
type the cPanel password of your old host
ls (this command will display a list of files in your home directory on the old server)
get backup-filename.tar.gz (this command will start transferring the backup file to your VPS, replace backup-filename.tar.gz with the real backup file name as you see it when you ran the ls command)
when the download finishes, exit FTP with
exit
Now you are back to the SSH prompt, where you run:
/scripts/restorepkg --force ./backup-filename.tar.gz (again replace backup-filename.tar.gz with the real backup file name)

ok guys thanks for your response. i asked my host why they remove backup wizard and ability to ftp your image as well.
i had to use wget on ssh to bring the backup account on the new server and cpanel move to restore. the host has daible backup wizard because of too much load on the server. thanks

If they are overselling the server, then yes, it will eventually create high load.

If they are not backup wizard to backup the accounts, you may need to ask them to backup the whole account from root access which they can only do but they may be charging you extra for it. Manually copying the files, database and email accounts will take a long time for the migration.
