Also, /usr/local/cpanel/bin/cpconftool will back up and restore the Exim configuration and Tweak Settings. The Tweak Settings are mostly stored in /var/cpanel/cpanel.config, so this does overlap some of the information I mentioned in my previous post, but I wanted to mention it because it could be helpful to you. Here is the usage:
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/cpconftool –help /usr/local/cpanel/bin/cpconftool [–restore=file|–backup|–list-modules] [–modules=MODULE,MODULE,MODULE]
When you run it with the –backup argument, it will create a tarball (.tar.gz file) that you can copy to the new server and restore using the –restore= argument. This tool only works with Tweak Settings and the Exim configuration at this time, so for other data like EasyApache profiles, you will still need to use the methods I described in my previous post.
