How to migrate user to the new server
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.2014-01-14.tar /home/backup/newuser.2014-01-14.tar
v-restore-user newuser newuser.2014-01-14.tar

It makes sense to specify the full path
Code: Select all
sudo /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-restore-user
If you want to recover the admin
Download the archive to /home/backup and then
Code: Select all
sudo /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-restore-user admin admin.2014-01-14.tar
If you have a different user then you need so /home/backup and then
Code: Select all
sudo /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-restore-user user user.2014-01-14.tar
ps...
/usr/local/vesta/bin/v-restore-user user user.2014-01-14.tar when you run this command, the script searches the archives here >/home/backup to restore

You don't need to do this with the full path because the path '/usr/local/vesta/bin' is in your path variable.
Check in wich directory you need to put the backups. You can change this in your control panel.

No it doesn't work, he wrote that he came out of the problem, so it is necessary to write the full path is debian.
And in the control panel does not see these files. Even the documentation says that you need to do.

and the archive you downloaded to a folder on the server ? /home/backup
*And check the permissions on the archive

Archive directory: /home/backup
I tried set permissions to 766 and 777 but i still can't restore that backup.
And... why i don't see that 3 backups created by vesta in /home/backup ?
