How to create backup?

I know how to set up back up and get that made at the end of every day. But what about if I want to back up data right now?

Also I must have set up the back up incorrectly because no back up is being made.

 

I think I did it right the first time.

I got files like:

Code:

hostgrea.tar.gz
newgames.tar.gz

which like cpmove files can restore the whole account.

However, now if I run /scripts/cpbackup --force the back up finish so quickly and all I see in the directory is

Code:

root@host [/backup/cpbackup/weekly/files]# ls -la
total 404
