Not sure what happened there... After the /scripts/pkgacct line... should have: <ulist scp -r /home/cpmove* root@server:/home/ scp -r /home/ulist* root@server:/home/ Crap… Not sure what happened there… After the /scripts/pkgacct line… should have:

<ulist
scp -r /home/cpmove* root@server:/home/

#! /bin/bash

/scripts/restorepkg $user

If so usually it will be in /cpbackup , but you'd have to check the configuration section to see what folder you had them run in. It depends…did you do the system backup from WHM’s backup section?

Can you point me to any resources that will help me? Thanks! Do you know if it is possible to get a cpmove style backup from a full system backup, but that is not running anymore?
