I have used the cPanel migration with mixed success.
The mySQL databases seem to migrate correctly, but no files are being copied to public_html and no e-mail addresses are created.
With one of my accounts I did the migration, I then manually copied all the Web site files into public_html, and the programs connected to and used data from the MySQL database successfully.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong?
Operating system CentOS Linux 5.2
Webmin version 1.441
Virtualmin version 3.64.gpl GPL
Other server
cPanel 11.24.4-R32603
WHM 11.24.2 - X 3.9
CENTOS 4.7 i686 on standard
The messages I get after migration are below:

This is because of a change to the cpanel backup tool. It is now storing the homedir in a tar archive. It leaves a homedir folder in the backup with nothing in it. The work around that I know of is to extract the backup and untar the homedir.tar back into the homedir folder and then tar the backup and migrate from that.
Looks like upgrading to vmin 3.66 fixes the issue
