cPanel's CPMove files, also known as "pkgacct" files, are used for migrating or transferring cPanel accounts between servers or for creating backups. If you are a non-root cPanel reseller and you need to create a CPMove file for an account within your reseller account, you can follow these steps:

  1. Log in to WHM: Log in to the WHM (Web Host Manager) with your reseller credentials. WHM allows you to manage and create cPanel accounts within your reseller account.

  2. Search for the Account: In WHM, use the search functionality to find the cPanel account you want to create a CPMove file for.

  3. Select the Account: Once you've located the account, select it by clicking on its name or username.

  4. Choose "Backup": On the account's details page, you'll find a "Backup" or "Create a Full Backup" option. Click on this.

  5. Configure Backup Settings: In the "Create a Full Backup" or similar section, configure the backup settings. You can choose the backup destination, retention settings, and whether you want to receive an email notification when the backup is complete.

  6. Initiate Backup: Click the "Generate Backup" or similar button to start the backup process. This will create a CPMove file for the selected cPanel account.

  7. Wait for Backup Completion: The backup process may take some time, depending on the size of the account. You can monitor the progress from the WHM interface.

  8. Access CPMove File: Once the backup is complete, you can access the CPMove file from the backup destination you specified. Typically, these files are stored in the /backup/cpmove directory on your server.

  9. Download or Transfer CPMove File: You can then download the CPMove file if it's stored on your server or transfer it to another server if you're migrating the cPanel account.

  10. Store CPMove File Safely: Store the CPMove file in a secure location for future use, such as a local drive or cloud storage.

It's important to note that creating CPMove files requires access to WHM, which may not be available to all reseller accounts. If you don't have access to WHM or are experiencing limitations, consider reaching out to your hosting provider or server administrator for assistance in creating CPMove files for cPanel accounts.
