Migrating the WEBppliance Websites Backups into HSPcomplete

It is possible to migrate the WEBppliance webites into VEs created already via special end-user interface in Control Panel. The following data will be migrated from the backup:

You can allow your customers to migrate their WEBppliance websites into HSPcomplete. In this case, your customer will be able to migrate his(or her) website backup using the HSPcomplete Control Panel.

To make a backup, a WEBppliance user should ask his (or her) Site Administrator to backup his (or her) website using All server configuration, e-mail, and user files option. If a WEBppliance user has a MySQL database and phpMyAdmin utility he (or she) should dump his (or her) database for further migration into HSPcomplete.

You can allow your customers to use the backups migration feature by creating Shared or Virtual hosting plan(s) that include a special application called WEBppliance backup migration.

While creating a Shared or Virtual Hosting Plan you should include the WEBppliance backup migration application in the list of applications available within a Hosting Plan. This will allow users who will buy this Hosting Plan to use backup migration from their Control Panel.

To migrate a website backup your customer should do the following:

  1. Once backup is created, a user visits your online store and buys Shared or Virtual hosting plan with WEBppliance backup migration feature.
  2. After the subscription is activated, your customer logs in to the HSPcomplete control panel, selects the System tab, opens the Import Tools submenu on the left menu and clicks the Restore From Third-Party Backup link.
  3. A customer clicks on this link and gets the migration form. He (or she) can paste the backup file content in this form or specify the backup file location in case it was uploaded into VE already.
  4. The HSPcomplete uploads/finds the backup file, extracts the XML file from it, parses this XML file and provides a customer with the form telling which data will be migrated. If your customer had MySQL database on his (or her) WEBppliance account, this form will prompt that the database dump should be uploaded separately once backup migration is completed.
  5. A customer confirms migration by clicking the Restore button and the migration process starts.
  6. Once backup migration is finished, your customer goes to Database Management at the Control Panel, creates the database administrator user and uploads the database dump.

Note: Your customer will need to update DNS by himself (or herself). The procedure of migrating MySQL database described above requires creating the database dump by your customer himself (or herself).
