    Has anyone ever heard of this backup program (I guess it also uses xtrabackup behind the scenes) -- but a google search seems to show that it's quite fast.

    First I heard of it was today, but seeing if anyone else might be using it and has any information?

    Migrate Centmin Mod Data To New Centmin Mod Server
    
    Description:
    This option is for full Nginx vhost data and MariaDB MySQL data transfers from
    this server to a new Centmin Mod based server. There are specific requirements
    for this to work:
    
    1. The destination server must already have Centmin Mod LEMP stack installed
    2. The destination server and this server's MairaDB MySQL server versions must
       be the same major version at least. i.e. MariaDB 10.3 or both
