Hostmonster dedicated IP and ports

Hostmonster documentations says:
"These ports will automatically be opened, by default, after purchasing a dedicated IP address."

After wasting hours, I discovered they changed the policy a week ago and now opening up ports must be requested by a ticket.

After requesting the ports to be opened, I have been told that my account has to be migrated to a Dedicate IP server for no additional cost. The migration may cause my sites to be down from 4 - 24 hours.

It was also requested that I backup my account before the migration.

cpanel full backup command:

/bin/gtar -c -f - -X /home1/<id>/cpbackup-exclude.conf -X /etc/cpbackup-exclude.conf --exclude backup-[!_]*_[!-]*-[!-]*-[!_]*_<id>* .

Initially started a full backup without deleting two versions of Java JDK, two versions of Apache Tomcat and two versions of JBoss. Killing the backup from cpanel Process Manager did not kill the backup since it was running as root. Scheduling another backup after cleaning up and while the previous backup was still running didn't seem to work either. Had to wait for the backup to complete before starting the second backup.
