- Code: Select all
# fdisk -l
2) Check to see if there are any drives mounted with:
- Code: Select all
# df -h
3) Let us assume that /dev/sdb3 is our CRASHED old drive and it is mounted as /mnt/old (yours can be different), but keep in mind that you need to know the mount point of the backup drive before we proceed further with the steps below.
Let us mount the CRASHED HDD if not already mounted with:
- Code: Select all
# mount /dev/sdb3 /oldHD
4) Now that the drive is mounted you can browse any files with:
- Code: Select all
# ls /oldHD/home
5) We are all set to move our data over to the new drive:
Run these rSync commands to move everything over:
- Code: Select all
rsync -vrplogDtH /oldHD/usr/local/apache/conf /usr/local/apache
rsync -vrplogDtH /oldHD/var/named /var
rsync -vrplogDtH /oldHD/home/* /home
rsync -vrplogDtH /oldHD/usr/local/cpanel /usr/local
rsync -vrplogDtH /oldHD/var/lib/mysql /var/lib
rsync -vrplogDtH /oldHD/var/cpanel /var
rsync -vrplogDtH /oldHD/usr/share/ssl /usr/share
rsync -vrplogDtH /oldHD/var/ssl /var
rsync -vrplogDtH /oldHD/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty
rsync -vrplogDtH /oldHD/var/log/bandwidth /var/log
rsync -vrplogDtH /oldHD/usr/local/frontpage /usr/local
rsync -vrplogDtH /oldHD/var/spool/cron /var/spool
rsync -vrplogDtH /oldHD/root/.my.cnf /root
rsync -vrplogDtH /oldHD/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf
cd to the old etc directory:
- Code: Select all
#cd /oldHD/etc
And copy some files from here:
#
- Code: Select all
rsync -vrplogDtH secondarymx domainalias valiases vfilters exim* proftpd* pure-ftpd* passwd* group* *domain* *named* wwwacct.conf cpupdate.conf quota.conf shadow* *rndc* ips* ipaddrpool* ssl hosts /etc
6) We are done with the copying of all the files and cPanel should start recognizing all the old users and their files, but after we do all this it is highly suggested that you run all updates, and run the cPanel fix scripts i.e:
Updating software and restarting services:
- Code: Select all
#/scripts/upcp
#/scripts/updatenow
#/scripts/sysup
#/scripts/exim4
#/scripts/easyapache
#/scripts/securetmp
# /scripts/fixeverything
7)This is needed to update cpanel information. Please note, sshd might fail and not start after running fixeverything. You have to login to whm, and go to the rpm installer and “FORCE” install opensshd-server, opensshd, opensshd-client and then restart sshd from whm.
Restarting services as:
- Code: Select all
#/scripts/restartsrv httpd
#/scripts/restartsrv cpanel
#/scripts/restartsrv mysql
#/scripts/restartsrv named
#/scripts/restartsrv exim
