Reseller ACL List Backup

[lanquest-it]

Hi All,

I have been using the WHM for a number of years to fully backup twice a week.
It's only since I have had to re-install our servers a few months ago that I realised the /var/cpanel/acllists folder isn't part of the backup at all.

Is there a config I've missed out?

Hello

In "WHM >> Backup >> Configure Backup", you can enable the following option:

"Backup Configuration Files"

This will ensure that the entire "/var/cpanel" directory is backed up, including "/var/cpanel/acllists". The configuration file/directory backups are stored in:

/backup/cpbackup/daily/dirs
/backup/cpbackup/daily/files

Note: The above directory structure assumes your backup location is "/backup" and you are checking the daily backup directory.

Thank you.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your reply.

I already have that option selected (attached screen shot).

Any suggestions are welcome.

Hello,

While this does show you have it enabled, it would be most helpful to see the contents of /backup/cpbackup/daily/dirs/_var_cpanel.tar.gz extracted:

cd /backup/cpbackup/daily/dirs
tar -zxvf _var_cpanel.tar.gz

I made a backup on my 11.30.1.1 test machine of the configuration files with an ACL list cpfoo saved on that machine, then I extracted the backup:

root@host [/backup/cpbackup/daily/dirs/var/cpanel/acllists]# ls -lah
total 12K
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Jul 7 19:48 ./
drwxr-xr-x 67 root root 4.0K Jul 7 19:48 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 592 Jul 7 19:48 cpfoo

The list is there on my local backup. Are you certain you are viewing the correct location and extracting the right file?

Thanks!
