Hi Guys, I am trying to transfer a site from a cpanel based host to one that have their own panel. I took the complete cpanel backup from the option in 'backup', under 'download a home directory backup'. I know that this backup is a complete backup and it includes graphics, files and also the database but I am not sure where the database is located! I have already transferred all websites files in public_html but just need to find and upload the database separately as this new host does not have 'restore a database' option like cpanel has. When I unzip the full cpanel backup, I see these 9 folders: . cpaddons --------- etc cpanel ------------ mail htpasswds -------- public_ftp trash ------------- public_html tmp Any idea where it is exactly located?
can't you just dump the entire database? it's easier that way. at least for me it is. old school. lol! yeah this requires console access.
usually, the thing which you are using the database FOR has a built in database backup feature as far as i know, cpanel doesnt back the database up, just your files if you are using vbulletin, go to your admincp, click maintenance, and then database backup
