Start migration from Directadmin to Eenos

Some sample conversion commands and syntax are given below:

Convert a Directadmin backup file to Eenos Backup file

You can convert a directadmin backup file to 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.

Syntax:

datoeenos --saveto /path-to-save-converted-backup --backupfile /path-to-directadmin-account-backup-file

Where,

  • /path-to-save-converted-backup , is a folder name to save the converted backup files
  • /path-to-directadmin-account-backup-file,  is the full path to cpanel backup file

Example:

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 Eenos Control Panel , please check he restoration documentation.

The migration of Directadmin hosting packages to Eenos hosting packages are 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 you hosting packages from directadmin server and place it into a folder name EenosHostingPackages  inside your save 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 ownerships

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

This operation will convert  the admin hosting packages and all reseller hosting packages. So only upload the required packages.

You may upload this backup file to your Eenos server and restore it.

It is safe to install and use datoeenos in your production Directadmin server. This  tool doesn't make changes on server data or file. It will only copy the required data to the chosen destination. So it is always safe to use the tool in your production servers.

Convert the  Whole Directadmin Server

Automatic upload of converted backups into 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,

  • path_to_script , is the your automation script , please make sure this script have execute permission.
