3. In the Full Backup wizard section, click on the backup button.




4. After the click on the Full Backup Button



5. In that section, make sure the Home Directory option is selected.

6. If you want an email notification after the completion of the backup, then enter the email address. If you do not want an email, check the box "Do not send email notification of backup completion".



7. the downloaded file will be located in /home user directory For example - backup-12.18.2019_12-20-11_xyz.tar.gz

8. Move the backup file in the public_html folder and change the permission as 644 or 755.

Destination Server :

1. Enter the below command to download the backup file:

wget server_ip(source IP address)/backupfile_name

For example :

wget x.x.x.x/backup-12.18.2019_12-20-11_xyz.tar.gz

2. Then enter the below command to restore the backup:

/scripts/restorepkg backupfile_name

For example:

/scripts/restorepkg backup-12.18.2019_12-20-11_xyz.tar.gz

After that for a verification check the size of the account on both servers (source and destination).

Then point the site manually(in host file) and browse it.
