We have incremental backups running in our server. We want to move the cPanel accounts to a new cPanel server and restore in that server. The Backup Restore option in WHM will recognize only compressed backups (like .tar.gz) when it is placed in the /home directory. So how do I do about restoring a incremental backup through the WHM of the new server?
View 4 RepliesI’ve just switched to a deticated server. I have backups of sites I need to move over and restore. cPanel has a “Restore a Full Backup/cpmove” option. Two questions…
1) How do I upload the back up file to the /home directory of my deticated server?
2) If the backup file is under a current client “/home/clienta” how do I restore it?
I’ve also tried using puTTy to restore the file.
- logged into as “root”
- typed “cd /home”
- typed “/scripts/restorepkg domainname”
how to restore an account from backups as my WHM backs up to an external server via FTP and I dont have a clue how to restore.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if I would be better to use incremental backup in cpanel instead of disabling the incremental feature and having tar.gz backup.
Im doing ssh overnigth on an offsite server.
Gzip is -rsync tagged when activated, as per this ccron command:

0 1 * * * export GZIP="--rsyncable" ; /scripts/cpbackup
so they should be rsync friendly?
Whats your tougth on this?
do incremental backup on my local hard disk but i would use backup compression, is there any way to tar each account and use incremental system? i have read something on GZIP --rsyncable

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:

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)
