Backup many problem

[igorfelluga]

Hi
I have about 400 account in my server and at 1am start the buck, it use many resouces and same day take long time to finish (same time 12 hours). Same account have 2gb .
Which is the best configuration? What can I do to optimize the backup procedure?

Thats because you backup the same files again with the cpanel backup script and cpanel do the backup in archive format.
I'll suggest you to do the rsync backup because that's the better way to backup your system cause its utilize less resources and do not copy the same files again. In next backup it just copy the newly uploaded or modifid files and not the same crap again. So its better than cpanel backup.
Here you go for it : Rsync Backup Script

Cheers!!
