    Hi there

    After added new hard drive to our servers for backup I mounted it as /home2

    new created accounts are automaticly created on this drive instead of /home as it says in setup!!!

    Any clue how to change it?

    That's because when an account is created, it is created in whichever home??? directory has the most space. To use it for backup, it should be mounted as "backup".

    You will need to move the accounts from home2 to home, which can be done in WHM, then properly mount the backup.

    or you can goto "Edit Setup" in WHM and change the "Home Directory Prefix" to something else

    allready tried, that the first I did actualy. I got a responce from DARKORB that I should have a slash after /home
    "/home/" that should do but it does not.

    I hade to unmount partition and change mount point in /etc/fstab ad then remount it as backup

    Works fine now :)

    Thanks anyway

    I have the same issue using 9.7.2. Have "edit setup" set up to use /home but everything gets dumped onto /home2 which is in there for one specific site.

    Having to move everything back over now manually.

    Would a backup of the cPanel partition be enough if mysql upgrade goes wrong?
