is there anyother way to do this? restore from server maybe? i backed it up to the dedicated server so its already on my box.

and before you say use the transfer tool, it don't work for me. support is looking into that.

Transfer tool in WHM won't work for sites around 500megs and larger. The software just chokes on it.

I found the best thing to do is do a .tar backup of you old home directory, then upload that .tar file to your new server's/accounts public_html directory and then contact support and they'll untar it for you in that directory.
Then you just need to transfer the database over assuming you're using a database.

you could probabily get away with uploading a self extracting file with your website init and have cron jobs run it?
