Log in to Parallels Small Business Panel as administrator
Click the Settings tab, and then click Migration Manager (in the Advanced
Settings group)
Click Start New Migration. If you are performing a migration for the first time, this button is not shown, and you
are taken to the next step
Specify host name or IP address of the source server
If you use a Windows-based installation of Parallels Small Business
Panel, select the type of operating system running on the source
server
Type the username and password used for logging in to the servers
operating system. Note: This should be "root" on Unix or Linux systems, and "Administrator" on Microsoft
Windows systems
Under What should be migrated, select the types of data you want to migrate:
To migrate all websites and mail accounts, select the option All domains
To migrate selected websites with or without e-mail accounts, select the option
Selected domains, and also specify what data should be transferred:
Select All content if you want to transfer all settings and data related to
selected domains (websites), including e-mail service settings, e-mail
accounts, and content of mailboxes
Select Only website data if you want to transfer all settings and data related to
selected domains (websites), excluding e-mail service settings, e-mail
accounts, and content of mailboxes
Select Only mail data if you want to transfer only selected mail accounts and
mail service settings of domains that serve them
8. To transfer spam filters database records created by users, leave the Transfer anti-spam training results along with mail accounts check box selected
9. To create in the Panel user accounts based on the migrated e-mail accounts, do the following:
Leave the Create user accounts linked with transferred mail accounts
option selected.
This will result in creation of user accounts with usernames equal to the left part
of e-mail addresses before the @ sign (also referred to as local part).
In case there are similar e-mail addresses under different websites, for example,
mailuser@example.com and mailuser@sub.example.com, then two user
accounts will be created with usernames mailuser and mailuser1 respectively.
Usernames longer than 20 characters are shortened to contain only the first 20
characters
Select a user role that should be assigned to the user
naccounts.
This can be either a predefined role, such as employee, or a custom role that
you might have already created
10. Under Rules on resolving conflicts, specify the following:
What to do if domain names of websites that you want to
transfer coincide with domain names already present on the
destination server:
To overwrite data of websites with coinciding domain names, clear the Skip
existing domains check box
To skip transfer of websites with coinciding domain names, select the Skip
existing domains check box
Whether to allow creation of more user accounts in Parallels
Small Business Panel than allowed by the currently installed
license key:
If you select the Allow exceeding the number of users or mail accounts defined by
license check box, then all e-mail accounts will be transferred and will
become user accounts in Parallels Small Business Panel regardless of the
license key limits. However, the Panel will stop working, and only license
management and user account management screens will be accessible to
you. In such a case, you will need to purchase an additional user pack
license and install it to the Panel, or reduce the number of user accounts
according to the currently installed license key by removing them
If you clear the Allow exceeding the number of users or mail accounts defined by
license check box, then only a part of e-mail accounts will be transferred and
converted to user accounts, so as to avoid exceeding the current license key
limits

If you selected the option to migrate all data, click Start
If you selected the option to migrate specific items, click Next
12. Select the check boxes corresponding to the domain names (websites) whose data should be transferred
