Incremental local backups plus disaster remote?
We are currently running incremental backups at local disk drives, to reduce the server resource usage each time backups run.
Yet, we'd like to setup a monthly task to create cPanel backups to remote servers, for disaster purposes.
Any advice on what should be the ideal configuration to archive this?
We could create a script to compress backups with /scripts/pkgacct, but of course backup jobs would need to run twice.

Hi @Duplika You can transfer incremental backups to remote servers as long as you use the rsync transport type when configuring the backup destination. Please see our documentation here: Backup Configuration - Version 74 Documentation - cPanel Documentation Thanks! 0 -
Would you advice we use a custom script to rsync the local Incremental backups? Not sure if "Additional Destinations" configuration allows to run the local backups, and send an additioanl copy to an external server. 0 -
Hi @Duplika I can't advise on the custom script but if you read the documentation you can retain a copy locally as well as transport a copy remotely. Thanks! 0
