This article will explain how to copy your old data using rsync from a failing drive to a fresh reload of cPanel on a new drive.
WARNING!!!
If you had to reload the system for permission issues or because of a Hacked system STOP Now, all you are going to do is break the clean system with these commands as rsync is going to copy everything including the hacked or infected files as well as the broken permissions.
Check your mount points and update the lines to how you mounted the drive in the new server.
