Backup On Cpanel Server - How And Why
Mar 26, 2007
How should I go about the backup of my cpanel server.
I have 2x 250gigs drive in raid 1 + 1x 250gigs hd mounted as /backup
I also need offsite backup.
Im reading, and im a bit confuse how I should approach this backup thing.
Here are a few of my questions:
1) Should I use the built in cpanel backup or a different script?
2) With offsite backup, rsync seems to be the way to go?
3) If I have a 250gigs drive as /home, it seems that my /backup drive needs to be way larger to accept daily / weekly / monthly backup?
4) Is offsite also needs daily /weekly / monthly backup?

Example: I have 1 server for hosting, 1 server as Dedicated Backup server
(Pls don't recommend me outsourced backup server as I already got one)
I am looking for a solution which I am able to do daily backup while keeping low server load as well as able to restore it quickly when I need it. It's a cpanel servers.
I understand that CPanel own backup method will tar my files (but I have too many accounts) and it also takes a lot of my server CPU resources which slows down my hosting server.
I am now using rsync which does incremental backup that really works and I am happy about it but I paid $55 per month for 1 cpanel servers as I oursourced the rsync installation & server management backup. I have few servers and I don't find it cost effective.
Anyone here can suggest different kind of method which I have not known yet? Or I would really appreciate if someone do not mind to share installation procedure for rsync with me. I tried to google for it and find them all very shallow information. This is not a try-and-error.

After adding a second drive mounted as /home2 for backups I attempted to use the cPanel "Configure Backup" and I get the following message.
Quotas cannot be built!
Your cpbackup destination is on a filesystem which has quotas enabled.
Please move it to a filesystem which does not have quotas turned on
or a separate partition/disk slice mounted at /backup.Backup has been
disabled to prevent quota problems...
All searches on how to resolve this really reveal no solutions.
I did a google search on "disable filesystem quota" among others and could
find nothing.

I have a crucial database (mysql).
My server is running cpanel. It has daily backup but it is not enough as it is running a lot of transaction daily.
I would like to run the backup to backup database only every 30 mins using cronjob. How do i do that in crontab. I have root access to the server.

I want to back-up accounts managed by cPanel/WebHostManager to a remote server. I want to be able to restore to any of the last 7 days. I believe doing an incremental back-up each night can accomplish this best, saving both bandwidth and disk space on the remote server.
Using the back-up functionality built into WHM is appealing because WHM knows what files need to be backed up to do a full restore. However, WHM can't do exactly what I'm looking for either. I've been looking into using rsync as described in this document:
[url]
It looks becaue of the "hard link" capabilities of linux, rsync can be used to create what functions like a full back-up every night but requires a full backup the first day and then each day after that only the incremental changes have to be transfered. However, because I don't know what directories need to be backed up, I'm not sure how to implement an rsyc solution either. (BTW, I want to back-up everything necessary to be able to restore each account except the log files. So, that means MySQL, mail, config info, and whatever the user has uploaded)
