Can not find users home dirs/sql in WHM Backup

[vizzit]

I have a backup configured to backup to a remote drive mounted as /backups. The account and Cpanel setting seem to be saved in weekly and monthly in directories named files and dirs as _etc_***, _var_***, _usr_*** but there is no home directory backup. The logs show report as follows

[cpbackup] Weekly Backup is up to date.

Did I miss something, does the whm backup backup all files in home or should I setup a seperate cron job and script?

I changed some options and re-saved the backup config including re-saving specific users and ticking all accounts and looks like the home directories are now saved under weekly folder.

I have the same question. In which tar is my www files located? Got one named _var_lib_mysql_.tar.gz so that seems to be the sql, but where is the www files?

Per-user home directory data will be stored in a directory "homedir" or uncompressed tar archive "homedir.tar" that is saved within the unique directory or gzip-compressed tar archive of each user's full cPanel account backup; this will require that the option "Backup Accounts" is enabled via WHM: Main >> Backup >> Configure Backup.

Here is an example path for uncompressed daily backups:

/backup/cpbackup/daily/$username/homedir/public_html

For compressed backups, look for an archive at a path like the following:

/backup/cpbackup/daily/$username.tar.gz

Here is an example that can be used as a guide to locate the public_html directory within a full cPanel account backup; these steps include both how to generate a full cPanel account backup as well as uncompress and extract the data and subsequently locate the public_html directory; this could be performed via root SSH access while ensuring to replace "$username" with the actual cPanel account username:

# /scripts/pkgacct $username
# cd /home
# tar -xzvf cpmove-$username.tar.gz
# cd cpmove-$username
# tar -xvf homedir.tar -C homedir
# cd homedir/public_html
# ls -ahl /home/cpmove-$username/homedir/public_html
