Once you set up and mount a backup drive to your server, you can then set it up to automatically back up your data at a time you set. WHM has some built-in functionality to help you create and manage these account backups in your server.
To set up a backup:
- Log into WHM
- Click ‘Backup’
- Click ‘Backup Configuration’
- Specify ‘/backups’ as your default backup directory
- Check the box next to ‘Retain backups in the default backup directory’
- Select ‘Enable’ under ‘Mount Backup Drive as Needed’
- Select the frequency at which you would like to run backups
- Select which user accounts you want to back up
- Click ‘Save configuration’
- The backups will now be automatically stored on your backup space
