Remote Password: SSH Password of your server.Īfter filling all these details click “Save and Validate Destination”. root/backups.Īuthentication Type: Password Authentication. I am going to demonstrate that how you can do this with ssh access, same will apply to ftp server as well.ĭestination Name: Give any friendly name to your destination.īackup Directory: Remote backup directory where WHM will send the backups, i.e. For that you are going to need a server, with SSH or FTP access. Now this is the step where we need to define a remote server which will house our backups. ![]() But you can always turn it on if you need. You need to specify where WHM should store backups locally, you need to be carefull that this directory should have enough space to accomodate backups.Īs you can see that I’ve unchecked the “ Retain backups in the default backup directory“, because this will save space on your WHM server, it means once the backups are transferred to a remote location, they will be deleted from your WHM server. Step 7: Configure Local Backup Directory!īefore backups are sent to a remote location, they need to be stored at local directory first. All you will need to do is upload the backup file in “/home” directory of your cPanel/WHM server and than restore the account from WHM, we will discuss on how to do that in another article. You must atleast select “Per Account Only” option, this way you can use the backup file directly to restore account from WHM.

This option only works for backups in local directory. The third option is very new in WHM and which is incremental, you should not select it because with this option you can not store backups to remote locations.If you select uncompressed, it will save all files to the remote server uncompressed, so there is no cpu overheads on the server but than you require more space on the storage server.Now it depends on your setup, if you have less storage space for backups you need to select compressed backup type, however it will put some load on your server for compression to take place. As you can see you have 3 options available, and I’ve selected the first option which is “Compressed”. ![]() By default they are disabled so you must enable for backup function to work.
