If you are going to use another cPanel account, will you waste your time by downloading all the addon. No right? You have an option to restore them as a backup option in the cPanel account. This is fully a manual process where the automated way is not recommended yet. You can even merge or separate two cPanel accounts to restore the addon backup option.
