If you need to transfer or restore a cPanel account for your VPS or Dedicated server, a powerful tool within the WHM panel is used to perform these tasks. For more information on logging into your WHM panel, please see VPS & Dedicated Hosting: Log in to WHM.

From within the WHM panel, visit the Transfer or Restore a cPanel Account tool:

You can choose from 3 options available:

1. Restore from a local cpmove file
   Select this option if the full cPanel backup file already exists on the server in one of the predefined locations, such as /home or /root. Information on how to manage backups with SFTP can be found below:
2. Upload a file to restore
   Select this option if you want to upload your backup file to the server and restore it from within this tool. This works with smaller backups; for larger backups, use the Restore from a local cpmove file option.
3. Transfer from Remote cPanel Account
   Select this option if you want to transfer a cPanel account directly from a remote cPanel server. You will need the remote server's IP address (or domain name), the cPanel username, and the cPanel password.

Copy an account from another server

From within the Transfer or Restore a cPanel Account page, select Transfer from Remote cPanel Account option:

With this tool, you will need the remote server's address (the server from which to transfer accounts), the cPanel username, and the cPanel password.

If you do not already have a cPanel backup, you can generate a new backup within your cPanel account. To learn more about how to do this, please refer to cPanel documentation.

If you do not have enough space on your drive for the backup, you can also use the SCP option to save the backup to another server. Using SCP would be a simple way to copy a backup directly to another Bluehost VPS or Dedicated server.
