Backup Hard Drive

[ThaMATRiX]

Hi. I have two hard drives in my server... The second is NOT mounted, and it shows up in the Format/Mount a new Hard Drive menu. If I want it to be a backup drive using the backup utility, so it mounts it, backs up, then unmounts it, should i use this Format/Mount a new Hard Drive utility? or what should i do in order to do that? thanks.

Here is a tutorial that worked for me:

As far as the "mounts it, backs up, then unmounts" you just pick this option when you finish setting up the drive initially. You do this from the Configure Backup in cpanel.

Thanks so much! That tutorial was awesome!

For some odd reason, its been almost 2 days now, and there are still NO FILES in /backup
any idea why? thanks.

What do you mean no files? Did you configure back up and save it? Post your setup?

Try

mount /backup

then

ls -l /backup

They should show up in there then. At first I wasn't seeing them either but then I realized that it was unmounting the drive after it was finished backing up the files.

root@xeon1 [~]# mount /backup
mount: /dev/hdb1 already mounted or /backup busy
root@xeon1 [~]#

root@xeon1 [/]# cd /backup
root@xeon1 [/backup]# ls
./ ../ aquota.user* quota.user*
root@xeon1 [/backup]#
