Backup to additional destination missing files

Hey all! If this question has been answered before, please direct me to the thread. I did a quick search but could not find anything. I'm using the new backup system on WHM 11.38.2. I have selected: compressed backups backup daily backup monthly backup accounts backup access logs backup bandwidth data backup system files backup sql per account and entire mysql directory My backup directory is /backup and it will mount that drive as needed. I have an additional backup destination set for /backup2 which also works. Backups that are going to the primary destination are working perfectly. I get directories with the backup date and two directories inside of that called "system" and "accounts" where the compressed backup files are stored. No problems here. The issue is that on my additional backup destination, /backup2, I only see compressed accounts backups, which are in the root of the directory named by date. There is no "system" or "accounts" directory on the additional backup destination. It looks like the additional backup destination is only backing up account files, not system files. Has anyone else experienced this, and how do I get my additional backup destination to backup files exactly like the primary destination? It doesn't really do much good to have an additional backup destination if all the files are not going to be backed up to it. Thanks! [COLOR="silver">- - - Updated - - - Also, to add, in the backup log what was emailed to me there is no mention of my additional backup destination, /backup2, even though files were put into that directory. For logging sanity and error parsing, I feel it necessary for the backup log to include any information about what was put on any additional backup destinations.

  Does anyone have any ideas before I just cron a simple one-liner to sync /backup2 with /backup and disable the additional destination in the backup configuration? At this point, a "cp -au /backup /backup2" in crontab would be more reliable...

  Hello :) You will have to manually modify the configuration file for the additional backup destination using the instructions at: System Backups There is an open feature request related to this at: Use WHM Backup Configuration UI to specify which backup destinations should receive system file backups Feel free to vote and add your input for this feature request. Thank you.
