SOLVED Backups via FTP on destination server are compressed files

[Elizabeta]

Hello,

I have a cPanel & WHM version 68.0.36. I have set up backup configuration, to save a backup locally on machine and to send backup via FTP on other machine.

I have notice that backup is not same.
On local machine I have
[root@cpanel backup]# ls -la 2018-06-05
drwx--x--x 4 root root 36 Lip 5 13:59 .
drwx--x--x. 6 root root 78 Lip 5 13:58 ..
drwx--x--x 2 root root 4096 Lip 5 14:03 accounts
drwx--x--x 4 root root 31 Lip 5 13:58 system


[root@cpanel 2018-06-05]# ls -la system/
drwx--x--x 4 root root 31 Lip 5 13:58 .
drwx--x--x 4 root root 36 Lip 5 13:59 ..
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Lip 5 13:59 dirs
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Lip 5 13:58 files

On the destination machine I have
[root@cl1 backup]# ls -la 2018-06-05/system/
total 194936
drwxr-xr-x 2 backup www 4096 Jun 5 13:59 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 backup www 4096 Jun 5 13:59 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 backup www 199403520 Jun 5 13:59 system_files.tar

In mails from cpanel I do not see any errors in backup process.

Why is that so?

Best regards,
Elizabeta

Hello @Elizabeta,

That looks normal. The backup script uploads a .tar file that contains all of the system backup files to each destination that you configure to receive system backups. This is documented at:

System Backups - Version 70 Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you very much Michael for your answer. I have unpacked .tar file and the content is the same like locally system files.
