Introduction
If the cPanel backup process stopped prematurely or did not run at the scheduled time, the backup process can be manually started from the command line.
Procedure
- Access the server's command line as the 'root' user via SSH or "Terminal" in WHM.
- Run the following command to initiate the backup process.
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/backup
Please note that it may be necessary to append the command with the "--force" option if backups are not scheduled to run on the day you are using the command.
