backup to a partition

Hi, when setting up the server i created a 100gb partition called backup in the hope that i can have the backups saved there out of the way, in the backup configuration, i have ticked Mount Backup Drive as Needed but what would i put in the Default Backup Directory please? number 5 is the partition in question


#         Start          End    Size  Type            Name
1           40         2048  1004.5K  BIOS boot       bios_grub-sda
2         4096      2099199   1023M  Linux filesyste primary
3      2099200   3700125695    1.7T  Linux filesyste primary

Martin, it sounds like you mounted the 100GB partition to /backup folder and it is a local partition so you don't have to use "Mount Backup Drive as Needed" option. instead set "/backup" in "Default Backup Directory" then run the backups manually with /usr/local/cpanel/bin/backup --debug to see if it completes fine. You can find more info about the configuration options at Backup Configuration | cPanel & WHM Documentation and at How to Run a Manual Backup - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation
