Subject: How to restore full backup in cPanel using root access (cpmove)
1. Your .tar.gz file (backup file) must be in /home directory so if the
backup file is not directly under /home directory, log in to SSH using
root access and do this:



mv /home/account1/backup-9.25.2005_17-46-10_username.tar.gz /home



2. When the backup file is already directly under /home, using SSH, do the following command:



/scripts/restorepkg --skipresellerprivs username



Note: Username corresponds to the name of the account. Format of full
backup is backup-month.day.year_time_USERNAME.tar.gz so use the
username from the .tar.gz backup file



3. If the account is a reseller, go to WHM using root account, go to
Main >> Resellers >> Reseller Center and Add Reseller
Privileges to that account.



VIOLA! It's as easy as that!
