Hi Arie,

For migrations use "Easy Migrate":

https://www.blueonyx.it/easy-migrate

That tries to keep everything as close to identical as possible. Where 
this is not feasible it will assume safe defaults.

Say for example you had a Vsite on 5210R that was using PHP 7.4 with 
"DSO + mod_ruid2". On 5210R we currently only have PHP-8.0.20 and the 
PHP options "suPHP" and "PHP-FPM".

In that case "Easy Migrate" will migrate the Vsite, all settings, all 
Users, their settings, MySQL (if enabled and present) and the Vsite will 
then be configured to use PHP-8.0.20 and PHP-FPM, as these are the safe 
defaults.

What else gets migrated by "Easy Migrate"? DNS, SSL certificates, Emails 
(of course) and some (if not all) extras from the Vsite's root directory.

So this is as good as it gets and should give you a pretty good data 
integrity.
