backup, when do they happen?

[ttremeth]

I have installed a new disk and mounted it as /backup and the WHM feature is enabled to back up.

Questions.

When will it do it? There is no time.
Will it be a brand new backup each day?

The backups will be kicked off when upcp runs each night - by default at 2:57AM local time. See /var/spool/cron/root if you care to change the time.

or just do crontab -e & then edit.

how to backup guide

I have just added a new seperate HD for backups. I'm just not sure about what settings I need to give it in the WHM/BACKUP/CONFIGURE BACKUP part of the WHM.

This is a major noob question but if my physical drive is mounted as 'hdc' what then are the correct settings for it in the section of CONFIGURE BACKUP, BACKUP DESTINATION?

Thanks.

Bill

Nevermind, got it figured out.
