    Hey, I have a VPS and about 140 accounts on it. I've also got cPanel and WHM installed. I'm moving to a new host, but the thought of having to move all these accounts manually really makes me lazy :D I have to go into each account and go to backup -> backup to remote FTP, and yeah.. :eek:

    Is there any way I can mass backup all of my accounts, or all accounts I select, to a specified FTP server?

    I only have root access on my VPS, but not on the server I'm moving all the backups to.

    Thanks in advance for any help! :)

    You will require root access at the destination server in order to do this.

    Also, please have a look at the server load (of your VPS), when using the Remote Backup function, as it is pretty heavy on the server.

    So there's really no way without root access on the destination server? :(

    No, you should ask your webhost to restore the accounts for you. Otherwise, you will have to manually create all the accounts and restore the backup file via Cpanel backups.
