Store backup on different directory

[samuelmf]

Hi guys, i hope that all is well wit all you, look i have this situation:
I have 14 servers that send their backups to a main server with WHM and an additional HD,
On the mail server i created linux users with their respective passwords for each server
On each server i configured rsync on the additional destination tab, all workss fine, except by the reason that the backup is stored in each home userdir
Is possible to configure on WHM the option to store those backups for each user (server) on the /backup partition?

A solution that i thought is change the path for each user homedir instead /home/user change it to /backup/home/user or something similar

I expect for your advices,
Thanks in advance

Hey there! The transfer just connects as the user configured in the remote destination, so it's going to place the files in the user's home directory. I think changing the user's homedir on the remote server as you mentioned is likely the easiest solution.

Simply open this file using a text editor, type:
vi /etc/default/useradd
The default home directory defined by HOME variable, find line that read as follows:
HOME=/home
Replace with:
HOME=/iscsi/user
Save and close the file. Now you can add user using regular useradd command:
# useradd vivek
# passwd vivek
Verify user information:
# finger vivek

If i do those steps, it will affect the new cpanel accounts homedir?
