Some sample conversion commands and syntax are given below:

Convert a Directadmin backup file to an Eenos Backup file

You can convert a DirectAdmin backup file to an Eenos backup file. The directadmin backup file must be a  .tar.zst, .tar or .tar.gz file.

This operation can be performed from any server, there is no need for DirectAdmin installed. You only need to install datoeenos tool.

Where,

Example:

If we are going to convert a DirectAdmin backup name /home/user.sysvm.myuser.tar.zst and store the converted backup into the folder /backup. The command is as follows:

da2eenos --saveto /backup --backupfile /home/user.sysvm.myuser.tar.zst

This will generate a backup on /backup/eenosbkp-myuser.tar.gz. You may upload this backup file to your  Eenos server and restore it.

To know how to restore a backup in the Eenos Control Panel, please check the restoration documentation.

Convert Directadmin Hosting Packages to Eenos Hosting Packages

The migration of DirectAdmin hosting packages to Eenos hosting packages is easy.

You need to install datoeenos in your DirectAdmin server to perform this task.

Please use the following command to convert DirectAdmin hosting packages.

datoeenos -s /backup -p

This will convert all your hosting packages from the DirectAdmin server and place them into a folder named EenosHostingPackages inside your saved path.

Here the converted package location will be in /backup/EenosHostingPackages

You may now copy or upload  all .yaml files from this folder into /var/eenos/packages/ of your Eenos server

Please make sure to change ownership of all files inside /var/eenos/packages/  will have the eenos user ownership

chown eenos:eenos /var/eenos/packages/*

Convert Directadmin Account to Eenos

You can convert a DirectAdmin live account into an Eenos backup file.

You need to install datoeenos in your DirectAdmin server to perform this task.

da2eenos --saveto /backup --user dausername

Convert the  Whole Directadmin Server

You can convert all DirectAdmin accounts and hosting packages from your DirectAdmin server with a simple command.

Syntax:

da2eenos --saveto /backup  --full

This command will perform the following actions:

Running Conversion in Server Background

You can run any conversion command in the server backup ground using the flag --demon or -d

Example: Run the full server conversion in the server background

da2eenos --saveto /backup  --full --demon
Automatic upload of converted backups into a remote server

You can attach a post-upload script for the conversion process so that your script will be executed after the backup conversion. This will help you to run automatic upload of converted backups into your remote  Eenos server.

To run a post-upload script, you may use the  flag --postupload path_to_script or -pu path_to_script

where,

This script will be provided with one command line argument which is the backup saved path.

Example : 

Convert the whole directadmin  accounts and hosting packages then upload to a remote server using my post upload script /root/postupload.sh

da2eenos --saveto /backup  --full --demon --postupload /root/postupload.sh

Here, the conversion process will run in the server background and execute the post-upload script soon after finishing the DirectAdmin account conversion process.
