cPanel backup -Questions

[LENOVOhost]

HI

The cPanel runs the the backup and stores the backup but if you run a daily backup or weekly backup when you remove the account from the cpanel the cpanel does not remove the backup on the next backup it keeps the backup of the accounts which have been removed by the users does not exist in the server My question is that

1. How to avoid such backup been stored ?

2. If the backup is stopped accidentally or killed by the user how to resume the backup from where it stopped ?

May be you could have rephrased your question very clearly.

If you remove the cPanel account from the server, cpanel backup won't backup the removed account ( ! )

Also, cpanel won't remove the backup file from the server , as if it removes the backup then it will be meaningless of "backup"

1. There is a script to do this called cleanbackup from cPlicensing: cPanel Scripts

2. I don't think you can resume, you need to redo the whole backup.

How do you redo the whole backup? I just get a error that says backups are up to date.

I need to re-run the back ups again, rather that wait another day.

/scripts/cpbackup username

should work, replace username with the actual username.

Or you can manually make a backup using /scripts/pkgacct username

if you want it to go to a specific place then use

/scripts/pkgacct username /path/to/save/file.tar.gz

/scripts/pkgacct username /path/to/save/file.tar.gz

The script "cpbackup" will initiate a backup of all accounts according to the cPanel backup configuration settings defined via WHM.
Example usage:

# /scripts/cpbackup
# /scripts/cpbackup --force

The script "pkgacct" may be used to generate a full backup of an account specified by username and the script "restorepkg" may be used to restore from an existing full backup.
