How Download backup with PermitRootLogin no

[orizonmedia]

Hi!
I have read about cpanel security and it is recommanded to disable root login : PermitRootLogin no
But if this option is disable, how can i download the serveur backup in /backup ? My sftp root login don't work anymore.

Maybe give Folder access to my new sudo user?



Thank!

If you disable root logins, you will indeed be unable to access the server with the root user this way. The alternate option would be to store the backups in a location a sudo user has access to.
