/scripts/cpbackup --force

To start a full backup, following the settings in /etc/cpbackup.conf, run the following command:

# /scripts/cpbackup --force

This will back up all accounts on the server without prompting you.

This question has been answered many times already in these forums. I did a quick search and found the following thread, which answers this question and also provides some additional information about our backup system:

/etc/cpbackup.conf is written when you select backup settings in the WebHost Manager, in Main >> Backup >> Configure Backup. If you have never used it, there should be some very basic settings already configured. Here is an example of a cpbackup.conf file:

root@seagull [~]# cat /etc/cpbackup.conf
BACKUP2 yes
BACKUPACCTS yes
BACKUPCHECK yes
BACKUPDAYS 0,1,2,3,4,5,6
BACKUPDIR /backup
BACKUPENABLE yes
BACKUPFILES no
BACKUPFTPDIR 
BACKUPFTPHOST 
BACKUPFTPPASSIVE no
BACKUPFTPUSER 
BACKUPINC no
BACKUPINT weekly
BACKUPLOGS no
BACKUPMOUNT no
BACKUPRETDAILY 0
BACKUPRETMONTHLY 1
BACKUPRETWEEKLY 1
BACKUPTYPE normal
COMPRESSACCTS yes
DIEIFNOTMOUNTED no
GZIPRSYNCOPTS --rsyncable
MYSQLBACKUP accounts

I attached a screenshot showing the settings in Main >> Backup >> Configure Backup that would generate this file. If your /etc/cpbackup.conf file looks like the one above, your accounts and their databases would be backed up to the /backup directory.

Even though you do not have access to the WebHost Manager, you may find the backup section in our documentation helpful:

Configure Backup

If your server already had backups setup and working before it ran into problems, running the command mentioned will use those settings you already had in place and backup your accounts.

If you never had a backup setup, you'd need to edit the file mentioned, save it, and then try running the command he gave you.
