    Default Backup whole account

    I want to do 6 hourly whole backup for one account and then rsync it to another server.

    I need to know the name of the script I need to run to backup the whole account, which I think is in the /scripts/ folder in SSH

    By default it will save to home directory. Im not sure whether we can define any path . You can move it by

    Code:
    mv /home/cpmove-USERNAME.tar.gz destination
    You can restore using the following command

    Code:
    /scripts/restorepkg USERNAME
