    Im wondering if there is a way to get the backup function once its finished each night to send an email to report what domains were backup

    I could have sworn cpbackup used to do this?

    Set a cron

    Set an email address to get backup of your data in CronTab. So CronTab will send you
    backup file to specified email address.

    :D

    Go on, have a guess
    It should do that anyway. If you're not receiving them, then either the backups are not completing or the email is being lost. If you have extended exim logging enabled:

    grep cpbackup /var/log/exim_mainlog

    Then grep for the message ID to see where it went.

    This isnt working on any of our servers...

    I just did a check on ome of them and one came back with:

    2006-08-22 09:37:36 cwd=/backup/cpbackup/Monday 2 args: /usr/sbin/sendmail -t

    others come back with nothign at all

    a couple of them came back that they had sent messages to my email and ive checked and nothing had been delivered and nothign is still in their queues undelivered

    I have no problems getting any messages from the various servers cpanels so im at a loss

    Ive got your daily backup rotation script setup and i do know that backups are occuring so im at a loss to explain it

    Could they be being marked as spam and being deleted or filed elsewhere? You might want to add root@host.server.com for each server you receive emails from to the MailScanner whitelist on the server that you receive the emails to in WHM > MailScanner > Front-End > Spam Whitelist
