1. Create a .tar file (backup) of the account in the old server.
To create a tar package of the account you have a Cpanel script.
/scripts/pkgacct ‘username’
Executing this script will create a username.tar.gz file in your /home directory. You can copy this to the new server.
2. Copy it to the new server using SCP
scp user@IP:/home/username.tar.gz user@IP:/home/
3. Untar (restore) in the new server
Login to the new server using ssh and execute the script.
$ cd /home ; /scripts/restorepkg ‘username’
