How to completely transfer all users' account, database and site data from old server to a new server?

1. You need to backup all users data including emails/crons/Bd's.

2. Install a new sentora, then restore all db's including sentora. Restore with the right permissions all websites/mailboxes.

3. Don't forget DNS too if you use it.

4. Restore cron jobs too.

There is currently no tools for that to automate it. But can be acheived. Take care to reset zadmin and over sentora hashing key too. Also sync MySQL Root password the best is changing it like the old server.

You will need to copy /etc/sentora/config too ( easier to remove the news /etc/sentora with a copy from the old server ).

Notice take care to use same OS, or you will have big big issues in config files. And also not zpanel > sentora.

This process is not recommended for newbies, as it require a full understanding of sentora inner's.

Thank you. It is very informative.

I wonder if automatic backup/restore feature be available in the future release of Sentora?

[Me.B]

I can say no for sure in next release as this is not the priority.

And may be we would beef up backup first for users data. No retore tools. Any one can build the tools easily in bash. No need to bundle it in sentora core.
