    Default It should be possible to initiate ad-hoc backups from WHM

    Subject says it all really.

    At the moment all you can do in WHM is config backups, not tell it to run one immediatley on an ad-hoc basis.

    oh dear...

    Let me rephrase that. I was not asking how to run an ad-hoc backup, I was saying you should be able to fire one off from WHM. I was filing an enhancement request for a feature that doesn't exist.

    I know my way around and am comfortable with CLI..... but WHM has its uses for getting stuff done, and firing off ah-hoc backups seems to be one of those basic things that blatantly should be there but isn't.
