If you want to force backups to run, then run /scripts/cpbackup. Keep in mind, this script will only run daily backups if the current daily backup is >=24 hours old, and weekly if the current is >= 7 days old, etc. If you delete the current daily backup for the domain in /backup/cpbackup/daily/, then run /scripts/cpbackup, it will create a new backup file.

/scripts/pkgacct <username> <location> backup
<username> refers to the username you want to backup.
<location> is the path to where the backup will be placed (in your case you want to put /backup/cpbackup here).
backup tells pkgacct that you want to create a backup file. If you leave this off it creates a cpmove archive. Not sure what the difference is between a cpmove and a backup file, but this tells pkgacct you just want to create a <username>.tar.gz file in <location>.
if cpbackup has been run already and set up /backup/cpbackup tree, then I use the following script periodically to freshen the user files.moogle said:
Note this doesn't update the sql backup, but at least the homedir is up to date (with fresh emails, etc.).. this works for me since most of my clients db usually update on regular intervals and is read the rest of the time.
#!/bin/sh
date
cd /var/cpanel/users
for i in *; do echo $i `date`; rsync -rlptDuS --del /home/$i/ /backup/cpbackup/weekly/$i/homedir/; done
date
I suppose it wouldn't be too difficult to add a line in to backup the databases as well, I've just not bothered.
