Blogvault Migration
-Inform customer you are starting migration
-app.blogvault.net (usually linked in the ticket)
-click on BACKUPS, then click on the “Backup now” button. (Then click both OK buttons.)
–the next two steps may have been done and noted in the ticket
-create new cpanel account
-create new database for that account
-create new user with permissions on the database
-FTP account will be cpanel user and password
–In the case the cPanel account has already been created by a Reseller, and they have NOT provided the account password, you will need to create a temporary new FTP account – and make sure to delete it at the end of the migration (I usually keep a tab open for just that purpose, otherwise I usually forget).
