I've been looking over the
cPanel Docs for tips on setting up a duplicate site on a separate server. I have accounts on servers 9 and 16 which are both in the GNAX center and I want to have a backup site ready to go in the event of another hardware failure.
I've noticed different cPanel skins don't use the same phrases. Xcontroller calls it "Today's Backup File" while in the monsoon skin (there it matches the cPanel tutorials) the same thing is called "home directory backup".
So if you're moving sites (without assistance from Page-Zone tech support) these are the backups you want. They don't contain the system files like the Full Site Backup but they'll work with cPanel's restore feature (on your second server) to create this mirror.
My Joomla sites also require a database move but the backups and restore of the database seems pretty clear to me. It was just the reference to a Home Directory Backup that had me puzzled because xcontroller's phrases didn't match the tutorials.
Other little things may need to be updated due to the new site location like- one of my servers uses /home2/ in the path and the other just /home/. My configuraton.php file in Joomla needed to change in 3 spots to check the backup site without pointing the domain name to the backup server.
To check my backup site on server 9, I used the server's ip and the cPanel username-
http://216.180.242.146/~username/
There are also different phrases used for the email forward or filter backup (comparing xcontroller to monsoon) but I didn't use these for my duplicate site.
