Question on cpanel import areas to backup

[dynamicnet]

Greetings:

Positive Software publishes http://www.psoft.net/HSdocumentation/sysadmin/backup_list.html

Is there a similar document for cpanel in terms of knowing what files and directories need to be backed up?

Thank you.

If you have ever used cpanel backup you will see that it creates a backup of certain directories.

Those folders are

/etc/proftpd
/etc/valiases
/etc/vdomainaliases
/etc/vfilters
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman
/usr/local/frontpage
/usr/share/ssl
/var/cpanel
/var/log/bandwidth
/var/named
/var/spool/cron

in addition to full account backups for user files and dbs.

Thank you for your detailed reply.

The cpanel server we've been asked to work on uses pure-ftpd, so I take it backup /etc/pure-ftpd.conf rather than /etc/proftpd ?

Thank you.
