Hi folks

I messed up my VPS by upgrading to newer Ubuntu version and something went wrong along the way and I basically lost access to CPanel. I tried a few things but i think its far gone.

I thought the best idea now would be to back up all the WordPress websites I have on the server (including database), export them, rebuild the VPS and import back the website.

Could you point me towards how to do it best and safest way?

Many thanks

Yikes... Are you able to get to your websites' wp-admin? You could then use UpdraftPlus to export the sites and then reupload them when you fix your VPS.
