Hi Ed,
I don't think anything is being added on my desktop (Mac OS X)- the go between for the servers. All the smaller Home Directory Backups worked like I expected, just around the 100MB size, cPanels restore ran for 20 minutes or so then threw an error. I decompressed the backup it wouldn't take, broke that down and made the new tarball. Since my desktop ftp program has some resume features I thought I'd try to move it over to the new server that way- and it worked. Once the tarball was there, cPanel's File Manager could extract it.
If there were only a few files going to the new server I wouldn't have bothered making the tarball with Mac application Stuffit Deluxe. But my ftp program Cyberduck tends to time out if I try and move hundreds of files. If it's only one large file, it works fine.

If you mean a cPanel's
Full Backup, I'd read in on that old post from Jim that it required SSH and I'm not set up for that yet. I think cPanel will let you make a Full Backup and move it via ftp but I think you need tech support to run the restore after the backup is over on the destination server.
