Quick question, hoping for a simple answer. I have looked through the
archives, but not sure if I came across anything that will help me out.

I bought my RaQ with the intent of hosting my own web site, and a few
others, and getting away from my current host. Not that my current host is
doing anything wrong, they have done a great job over the past few years.
It's just that I have the facilities and am looking to go it alone.

The problem I have is moving the site from the host RaQ to my RaQ. I don't
have telnet access to .tar the site, bit I can do a backup from the
siteadmin interface to my desktop.

I created a new name based virtual site, using the same username/password
and login to the new site on my raq. When I try to do a restore, it won't
let me do it, saying no files selected.

I know I can ftp the entire site up to the new raq and spend hours setting
the permissions and testing and fixing, but I'm really looking for a faster
way.

I guess the question would be, when moving an entire site from one host to
another host, how can this be done while still preserving all the settings.

Thanks in advance,

Bob G.
How about using ftp and downloading the site. Then you could just upload it to the new site. Yes it would take a few minutes longer than if you tared it.
