change backup time?

[torwill]

Hi,

I use backup function in WHM to backup my servers.

just wondering where to change backup time? a cron? a script? so I can avoid peak hours on my server.

any comments appreciated.

thanks.

root's crontab has an entry for /scripts/upcp - it's set to a random time in early morning hours.

upcp (update cpanel?) updates the system then calls /scripts/cpbackup, which is the backup program.

I tried to go into /scripts/upcp and all it did was run a script. Then I slapped myself inthe head and added the pico before the line (pico /scripts/upcp) which let me into the file. 2 questions.
1) Did I hurt anything by running /scripts/upcp
2) I could not find the backup schedule in there. Any ideas?

1. Shouldn't have hurt anything.

2. In upcp it calls /scripts/cpbackup around line number 150
a. cpbackup has a config file in /etc/ called cpbackup.conf

3. To change the backup time change the time upcp runs.
