Hello, I have a cPanel & WHM version 68.0.36. I have set up backup configuration, to save a backup locally on machine and to send backup via FTP on other machine. I have notice that backup is not same. On local machine I have [root@cpanel backup]# ls -la 2018-06-05 drwx--x--x 4 root root 36 Lip 5 13:59 . drwx--x--x. 6 root root 78 Lip 5 13:58 .. drwx--x--x 2 root root 4096 Lip 5 14:03 accounts drwx--x--x 4 root root 31 Lip 5 13:58 system [root@cpanel 2018-06-05]# ls -la system/ drwx--x--x 4 root root 31 Lip 5 13:58 . drwx--x--x 4 root root 36 Lip 5 13:59 .. drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Lip 5 13:59 dirs drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Lip 5 13:58 files On the destination machine I have [root@cl1 backup]# ls -la 2018-06-05/system/ total 194936 drwxr-xr-x 2 backup www 4096 Jun 5 13:59 . drwxr-xr-x 4 backup www 4096 Jun 5 13:59 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 backup www 199403520 Jun 5 13:59 system_files.tar In mails from cpanel I do not see any errors in backup process. Why is that so? Best regards, Elizabeta

  Hello @Elizabeta, That looks normal. The backup script uploads a .tar file that contains all of the system backup files to each destination that you configure to receive system backups. This is documented at: System Backups - Version 70 Documentation - cPanel Documentation Thank you.

  Hello, Thank you very much Michael for your answer. I have unpacked .tar file and the content is the same like locally system files. [Moderator Note: New question moved to
