They mean that they have made the contents of the disk of the old VPS accessible under the directory /mnt/1, so that you can copy over files, if you need to.

The command has to be read this way: They connected the harddisk-partition (which was /dev/sda2 on the old VPS, it will have a different name on the new VPS, but that doesn't matter) to the directory /mnt/1 for accessing the files on it on the new VPS. Search for a folder named /mnt/1 and you will find your old files.

Great i found it
i found my content at this address:
/mnt/1/var/www/vhosts/pilotofpersia.com
additionaly i can see my website backup

ilotofpersia.com_vhost_1111191630.tgz

Copy all content that you want to have on the new site from /mnt/var/www to /var/www and you should be fine.

another question is i want to download my backup about 1,2G through filezilla user Sftp but downloadspeed is very low speed about 8KB/s and take very longer time
is there any better software or access that i can get that back up on my local with higher speed?

thank you

if doing like this? will works? or anything wrong?

Code:

mount -t nfs ... /nfs

what should be the ... would be?

So, try this....

1. Shell into your NEW server ( lets call it VPS2 ).

2. Do a :

Code:

df -h

3. You should see a mount like :

Code:

dev/sda2 some_stuff /mnt/1

4. Do a :

Code:

ll /mnr1/*

That show you your old stuff?

EDIT : Day late and a dollar short.

Bandwidth is bandwith. If it is 8 MB your kinda gonna see that no matter what you do. I mean you could go rsync on it; however, bandwidth is bandwidth though.

1.2Gb at 8kbps, waah..if your backup is not zipped. Try copying it file by file or folder by folder. Of course you need to take note which one has been copied or else you might end up duplicating files.
