Question
I want to configure daily backups locally on my cPanel server while sending weekly backups to my remote Amazon S3 instance. I would also like to configure monthly backups to a remote FTP server.
Is this type of backup configuration possible?
Answer
There is no native support in cPanel/WHM for sending different backup types (daily/weekly/monthly) to various destinations at this time. There are two open and popular feature requests with cPanel users asking for this functionality at the links below, however:
Ability to Schedule different backup destination for daily, weekly and monthly
Choose which type of backup (daily, weekly or monthly) is transferred to the Additional Destination
The more votes that a feature request receives, the more likely the functionality will be added to a future version of cPanel by our developers. You are encouraged to vote on feature requests if they describe the functionality you are looking for in cPanel and WHM. Your feedback is also always appreciated.
