SOLVED Account backups do not exist on Amazon S3 destination

[NeptuneSolar]

Hi,

I've set up backup configuration in whm to amazon s3. Does this backup everything? I'm asking because when I login to S3 the only files in my bucket are:

date/system/system_files.tar
date/.master.meta (371.0 B size)

My plan is to backup everything to amazon's s3 there is only one account on the server/in whm? is this all inside the master meta? my db, email, public_html ect?

Thanks.

Hello @NeptuneSolar,

I don't see anything wrong with how backups are configured on your system. If backups are enabled for the cPanel user on your system in WHM >> Backup User Selection, then I recommend opening a support ticket with us so we can take a closer look to see why the Amazon S3 transfer failed. You can post the ticket number here and I'll link this thread to it.

Thank you.

Thanks for your reply, @cPanelMichael!

I clicked "Reset" and set-up the same configuration again and seems to be working as expected now, amazon S3 now 84GB, oops my bills! Completed within 2hrs vs before (1min 27 seconds). Hopefully, S3 does't become too expensive.
