Transfering Accounts Across Servers

    I have to transfer about 100 domains from a cpanel server to a plesk server.
    I have tried the plesk migration agent, but it seems unreliable.
    Anyone have suggestions as to how I can accomplish this with ease?

    Thank you

    Yeah Cpanel isn't good for something like that. If you are good with SSH I simply tar up the site directories located in a backup and then move the zipped files to a public directory and use the wget command to transfer the files from server to server.

    I am afraid to do anything manually in plesk, as I fear to break it's database or whatever.... I have no problem moving the files, it's the databases ... and all of our clients email addresses and mailboxes,logs etc. will have to be moved over as well.
    This is not going to be fun, I am not even sure how to move the mailboxes.

    Fortunatly the server techs might be able to lend me a hand, but they won't actually do it..
