Init backup manually (not legacy)

[FeeReD]

I am trying to manually initiate the backup of the accounts on our server and can't find the command that would do that. I know the legacy command is "/scripts/cpbackup" but that doesn't help.

I've selected the backup to be daily. When does this process usually happen? Will it happen today or will it start backing up tomorrow?

Cheers

Could someone move this into "Data Protection" sub forum. Thank you!

Hello

You can use the following command:

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/backup --force

By default, it starts at 2AM your server time every day.

Thank you.

Thank you Michael. I ran the backup and this is what was generated in the log file:

[backup] System backups will not be uploaded to any remote destinations

I looked in the "Restore Backup" and there was no backup available. Shouldn't I see options to restore specific accounts or restore entire backup for that matter?

After looking into the /backup folder, no files where backed up.

Sorry, just noticed a "Select Accounts". I feel like this option shouldn't be nested. There should be a "Backup All Accounts" checkbox or if unchecked, then click "Select Accounts"
