I have configued WHM to do backups each night, retaining 2 daily, 2 weekly and 2 monthly. But there are 8 backup files being stored, two of which do not make any sense to me.
Here is ls -l of files:
-rw------- 1 root root 41512029556 Aug 6 02:51 /backup/2022-08-06/accounts/mydomain.tar.gz
-rw------- 2 root root 41512867911 Aug 7 02:50 /backup/2022-08-07/accounts/mydomain.tar.gz
-rw------- 1 root root 41513429405 Aug 7 01:51 /backup/cpbackup/daily/mydomain.tar.gz
-rw------- 1 root root 46707633961 Aug 2 01:58 /backup/cpbackup/weekly/mydomain.tar.gz
-rw------- 1 root root 45585525468 Jul 1 02:56 /backup/monthly/2022-07-01/accounts/mydomain.tar.gz
-rw------- 1 root root 46705874908 Aug 1 02:59 /backup/monthly/2022-08-01/accounts/mydomain.tar.gz
-rw------- 1 root root 46703942381 Jul 31 02:57 /backup/weekly/2022-07-31/accounts/mydomain.tar.gz
-rw------- 2 root root 41512867911 Aug 7 02:50 /backup/weekly/2022-08-07/accounts/mydomain.tar.gz
All the backups with date in the path make sense to me. The two that do not are:
/backup/cpbackup/weekly/mydomain.tar.gz is even more confusing. Aug 2 is not a weekly backup date, it should be Sunday as indicated by the two weekly backups of 2022-07-31 and 2022-08-07.
Are these two mysterious backups necessary? I am trying to save space on the server, and can use the extra 83Gb these backups are using. Can/should I just delete them?
Thanks much
