cpanel backup - file list + location

[katmai]

hi guys,
i had a tough week with a bunch of freak incidents going. long story short - raid10 array failed miserably and we're now using PhotoRec to grab files off the drives. seems to be working however.

i have been storing the cpanel backups in incremental format
does cpanel store a list of the files + their locations when taking incremental or unarchived backups ?

if hopefully yes can you please tell me the file name?

if no, does anyone have any ideas on how could i go about restoring the order in the files i recover?

Hello,

An Incremental backup is a type of backup that only copies data that has been changed or created since the previous backup activity was conducted.

Yes in this case Cpanel store a list of the files with locations while taking incremental backups.

Hello @katmai

You should be able to obtain a list of the backup files using the backups_list_user_files script. For more information please refer to the documentation:

Feel free to let us know if you have any questions.
