Cpanel backup from command line

[Radio_Head]

Is there any way to execute a Cpanel weekly ,daily or monthly backup from command line . How to execute them ?


Thank you

The weekly and monthly backups are created based on the date of the previous run. Weekly and Monthly backups are simply copies of the current daily.

So, to run a new daily:

/scripts/cpbackup

If it complains about it already have run:

rm -Rfv /path/to/your/backupdir/cpbackup/daily
/scripts/cpbackup

To rerun the weekly:

rm -Rfv /path/to/your/backupdir/cpbackup/daily
rm -Rfv /path/to/your/backupdir/cpbackup/weekly
/scripts/cpbackup


etc.

If it complains about it already have run:

rm -Rfv /path/to/your/backupdir/cpbackup/daily
/scripts/cpbackup

Actually, I think you can just run:

/scripts/cpbackup --force

and it will ignore whether or not the daily backup has been written to today. I may be wrong, someone can double check me.

Looking at the script, it looks like it does use --force, don't know how long that's been there However, a word of warnnig, the script appears to show that if you do that it will automtaically do the daily and weekly and monthly if they're configured. So, if you only want to rerun the daily, don't use --force.

Are there any commands i can pass to the /scripts/cpbackup via a command line that will execute a backup for a single account?

This would be most beneficial. Moving a single account from a server to another, i don't want to wait for the backs to run at night, and don't want to run the entire backup cron for all accounts.

Anyone?

[chirpy]

If you want to move one account use:

/scripts/pkgacct accountname

This creates a backup of the account at the top level of /home which you can copy over to another server into /home and restore using:

/scripts/restorepkg accountname

Check the backup settings. It is required that the day you run backup is also set to be allowed from with whms backup conf section.
