    Hi


    I am currently backing up my data nightly by incremental backup.

    is there a way to run a normal full backup, and an incremental backup at the same time for cpanel accounts?

    Hello :),

    You can enable your second backup system for normal backup but you will have to set different time for the both backup system.

    Hello,

    Additional destinations are currently unsupported with incremental backups. However, support for remote incremental backups is planned for the future. You can follow the progress on the feature request page at:

    Support for remote incremental backups

    Thank you.

    hi


    thank you for your response, what i wanted to achieve is, to have full backups, so i can use the restore function within WHM, and then use incremental backups to store a copy off site, which is what i currently do.

    thanks for the reply, however i think your miss understanding what im asking, i already remotely store my incremental backups, i was wondering if i can run two types of back up at the same time. ie full backup, and incremental backups

    The use of the "Incremental" backup type allows only one backup. This option will only save changed information. This option does not allow users to include additional destinations at this time.

    Thank you.
