Whats the best way to back up a yonohost account to move to another server. I’m planing on moving soon. I know how to do cpanel / plesk etc just new to this panel and dont want to screw it up !
Your question is too generic. Give some more information on your actual and future installation, used apps, etc.
Just wanting to back up yonohost on my server i have at the moment and then move it to another server and deploy it on that server with my backup so i dont loose anything 
I would just be using the apps i use on yunohost.
Step 1: read very carefully the documentation: Backups | Yunohost Documentation
Step 2: backup localy your data from the old server.
Step 3: install YNH on the new server.
Step 4: restore apps and data from your backup archives on new server.

Hi @digitalsc4rz , welcome to the forums!
In addition to @aris excellent 4-step approach: you can repeat step 4 multiple times of course even if you make a mistake. It will only go ‘live’ once you switch DNS from the IP of your old server to the IP of the new server.
You may be familiar with the /etc/hosts file on your computer. I tend to enter the IP/domain combination(s) of the new server there, so that I can test everything works before changing DNS.
Take in account the time that passes between making the backups and taking the new server live: any mails that have arrived on the old server in those days of course won’t be available on the new server.
Some workarounds for that; either:
- first do a dry run to get familiar with the procedures, then make a new backup and work through everything very fast; or
- turn of the old server / take it offline after making the backups and transferring them; or
- run rsync on specific directories to sync the data
As there usually are multiple solutions to everything, someone else may give additional options.
Good luck!
