Migrate from server to server (usernames change possible?)

Virtualmin
1

Hello,

I have 2 Virtualmin servers. One older (Centos 6) and the new one Centos 7.
On the old system I have the following settings on the domains:

  1. Passwords are saved in the configuration and can be seen from control panel
  2. Usernames are not in the form of user@domain.tld

I want to move those accounts from the old to the new (via backup–>restore method) and -as you guess it- I want to:

  1. Have password in encrypted mode so the cannot be seen from the CP &
  2. Change the usernames format to user@domain.tld.

All those without losing the mailboxes of course as they are full of data.
Can this be done or I have to create the accounts in the new system from scratch?

Any advice is welcome!
Thank you

Howdy,

When restoring a backup onto a new server, the usernames are re-created using the settings within the Server Templates.

So it’s no problem to change the username format, which can be done in System Settings -> Server Templates -> Default -> Mail for Domain.
