Hello

My server's hard disk is going to replace tomorrow. I need this script very urgently. I have all account's backup as

Code:

username.tar.gz

generated by the cPanel/WHM backup function

I moved these files into another server using rsync and scp..

When I get the new hard disk with new OS installation, I need to restore these files very quickly. I know there is a function in whm for restoring files. but the total number of accounts are about 600+

So I can not do this way.
I know that this way I can restore accounts using ssh

Code:

/scripts/restorepkg username

So, I need to get a code for collecting all the usernames from the file "username.tar.gz" and applying this function as a loop

Urgently required.
Please help me

Thank you
Vivek

You may need to run something as follows (assuing that you have resored /var/cpanel/user:
On main server (to backup)

Code:

for i in $(ls /var/cpanel/users)
do
 /scripts/pkgacct $i
done

Restore on another server (again assuming that you have updated file):

Code:

for i in $(ls /var/cpanel/users)
 do
  /scripts/restorepkg $i
 done

Do you have username.tar.gz for each user? or is it one file only? If you have username.tar.gz for each user, type:

Code:

for f in *.tar.gz; 
do  
  u=$(echo $f| cut -d'.' -f1); 
 /scripts/restorepkg $u ; 
done

Code:

 #!/bin/bash
for f in *.tar.gz; 
do  
  u=$(echo $f| cut -d'.' -f1); 
 /scripts/restorepkg $u ; 
done

Thank you very much for this code. It saved my many hours of manwork!

Thank you very much
Vivek
