Hello,

I'm trying to backup my Data.
When I go to the Cpanel WHMx and i click backup I don't have the generate full backup.
I can only setup the daily / weekly option.
can you please point out how can I configure it properly.


Thanks In Advance

You generate full backups of an account from cPanel. You configure backups for all accounts in WHM. Two separate things.

can you talk me through the WHM settings .
I want to configure it properly so It backups everything in case something happens.
or is it better to do it per account ?

thanks in advance ,

Jogel.

if you want to get a full backup and you are root user the easiest way for a single domain is to run from ssh "/scripts/pkgacct username"

This will create a full cpanel backup then you can either copy that to the backup directory or copy it to the /home directory of another server and run the "/scripts/restorepkg username"

"/scripts/pkgacct username"
thats the username of the domain i've created right ?
I have 3 domains
so I'll have to run it for each ?
where will i get the output ? i.e. backup.tar ?

sorry for being retarded.
