my @cpusers = Cpanel::Config::Users::getcpusers();
foreach my $user (@cpusers) {
 
  my $cmd = "nice -n 19 ionice -c3 /scripts/pkgacct --skiphomedir " . $user . " 2>&1";
  print "############## ";
  print $cmd;

  open my $OUTPUT, '-|', $cmd or next;

The resulting configuration backup will be placed in: /home/cpmove-USERNAME.tar.gz and will be automatically backed up by CDP as long as you have selected the /home file system or disk in your Disk Safe for protection.

h6. Restoring an Individual cPanel Account

# Use CDP (as the server administrator) to restore the file /home/cpmove-USERNAME.tar.gz to an alternate location (e.g. /tmp)
# Login to the cPanel server using SSH and run:&nbsp; # /scripts/restorepkg \--force /tmp/cpmove-USERNAME.tar.gz
# Restore the contents of the /home/USERNAME using CDP file restore
