backups

Hi guys. I've been trying to setup a proper S3 backup from WHM. We used to use tha Backblaze integration, which worked great, but we had to move away from that because they don't have datacenters in Canada. We have some clients that need their data stored in Canada. Anyway, the steps I've taken...

Hi! I'm using JetBackup as a backup solution (it works much better for me -and for my users- that the native WHM/CPanel native solution). But, since JetBackup STILL (February 29, 2020) doesn't support incremental backups on Backblaze, do you have any suggestion for a cheap but reliable backup...

Hi quick question, do you know if it's ok to rm -rf an incremental backup folder? Eg one of our backup servers is smaller than the other and Cpanel do not allow us to control what goes to what additional destination. Therefore we sometimes go in and rm -rf /xxxx/monthly/2019-**-** to get rid...

Just setup Google Drive™ transport for our servers. However, we ran out of space real quick. Is there a way to only backup specific accounts to Google Drive™ to prevent this from happening?

I’m trying to fully understand how the Rsync remote incremental backups are working. My understanding is that the backup system is using Rsync with the remote server. What I do not understand is why the server is keeping a copy of all files locally in the backup folder. I’ve double check to...

Hi Guys, I setup cpanel v80.0.14 backup to an additional destination (SFTP). The remote server is fine and validated. I would like to know, how does the cpanel transfer the backups to the remote server? Is it one by one, right after a backup compression is completed? Or it will need to finish...

Using the CPanel given Backup Perl script here [ CpanelInc/backup-transport-dropbox ] , to backup to a remote Dropbox, after updating WHM from 78 to 80.0.11 this now returns failures on account sizes above 2.3Gb . ONLY accounts larger than this size have failed. Smaller accounts have transport...

Hi, I've noticed that the backups for some of my accounts don't contain all of the data in the homedir. I'm using the new backup (not legacy) and backing up all accounts to S3. I've just checked two tar files and there are chunks of data missing. For example: \homedir\public_html\wp-content\...

Hello, Since May 19th, my backups have been failing to transport to B2. Everything was working fine prior to that. I made no changes to the server prior to this, so I am unsure why this is occurring. I have even rebooted the server, however this hasn't resolved the issue. It appears that a 500...

I was testing my backups as I do every so often, which meant spinning up a new server instance, installing CPanel, transferring the backup files, and restoring them to the test server. Previously, I was able to upload the backup files to either /home or /root and have CPanel pick them up. This...

Problem: My VPS gets backed up to an AWS S3 bucket. I need to restore a particular website from the last good backup (today's backup by chance). However, WHM > Backup Restoration says: "The system cannot restore backups because it does not store those backups locally." Research: After a good...

What value should the number of kilobyte chunks per compression work unit actually be? Backups regularly cause serious load spikes on a 24-core box with 32gb RAM that normally sits at a load average of 9.0--even with the compression level set below the default of 6, (4) and the number of...

Hi, When I do a rsync remote back up destination with cPanel backups. Does it copy just the changed files to the remote server? The load seems to spike pretty high for just the changed files. With the folder name changing to the new date could that could trigger all files being transferred...
