I got the following error when moving a domain from joe.cloud to joe2.cloud:
Re-creating virtual server austinaudiocoop.com .. .. a clash was detected : DNS zone austinaudiocoop already exists on the services host
Restore failed!
.. restore failed : Checking for missing features .. .. all features in backup are supported Checking for errors in backup .. .. no errors found Starting restore.. Extracting backup archive file .. .. done Re-creating virtual server austinaudiocoop.com .. .. a clash was detected : DNS zone austinaudiocoop already exists on the services host Restore failed!
Which is true...there is already a zone there, because it's also using Cloudmin Services for its DNS.
Status:
Active

When you did the move, did you select to delete or disable the zone on the original host as part of the process?
Disable.

Unfortunately right now you have to select to delete the domain as part of the move process (and it will get re-created on the new host).

I ran into this issue as well trying to copy a live site to a dev server to test some things on it. Cannot move, transfer, replicate, or even manually restore a backup of a domain to another server unless I delete it from the source first.
However in the error Joe posted where it says austinaudiocoop is definitely a database name in my error and still happens if I only select MySQL to replicate under Cloudmin > Virtualmin Settings > Virtual Server Replication > [edit a replication] > Advanced replication settings > Virtualmin features to replicate.
Not sure if that helps fix it or if its even actually a bug but just thought I should mention it just in case since it would be great to be able to copy a site to a dev.example.com style site and I can't figure out how to do that.
