Features / Backups & migration
Move in easily. Never lose a thing.
Nightly encrypted backups with offsite copies, restores down to a single file, and tools that bring accounts in from cPanel, HestiaCP or another KarnakPanel server.
Account Transfer
New in 1.5.51: move accounts between KarnakPanel servers.
- Pair with two short codes; no passwords or private keys are copied
- Pre-flight checks, then an encrypted copy with a live bar per account
- Everything kept: passwords, mail, databases, DNS, DKIM and FTP
- One cutover button moves sites, mail and DNS together
- Automatic rollback if a move fails
- DNS check shows what public resolvers answer, and what to change at the registrar
Imports

- cPanel: full-backup upload, remote login with API token, or root over SSH
- HestiaCP: root over SSH or an uploaded backup
- Mailbox import from Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud, Zoho or any IMAP host
- A Migrate page with a tab for each source
