This morning, cPanel Backup backed up about half the accounts on my server and then ran out of disk space. During this process, cPanel Backup did as instructed and uploaded those backups to an Additional Destination (an FTP site at my home). Here's my problem.... cPanel Backup then logged into my home FTP site and DELETED last week's backups.
I've read this documentation a dozen times and I see nothing to indicate that this is the expected behavior:
Finally, here's the e-mailed report I got from cpbackup:

Further, I have found no checkbox that lets me tell cPanel to DELETE local backups but PRESERVE remote backups. Is the only option to REVOKE deletion privileges from the FTP account my cPanel server uses to upload files?Retain backups in the default backup directory.
This option retains backups in the default local backup directory, even after the system transfers the backups to another destination.
If this option is not selected, backups will be deleted after being moved to another destination.
Finally, here's the e-mailed report I got from cpbackup:
The system encountered errors during transport of the backup files. Below is a preview of the attached log file.

(numerous accounts it failed to backup due to the disk full situation)
