Init backup manually (not legacy)

I am trying to manually initiate the backup of the accounts on our server and can't find the command that would do that. I know the legacy command is "/scripts/cpbackup" but that doesn't help. I've selected the backup to be daily. When does this process usually happen? Will it happen today or will it start backing up tomorrow? Cheers -- Could someone move this into "Data Protection" sub forum. Thank you!

  Hello :) You can use the following command: /usr/local/cpanel/bin/backup --force
  By default, it starts at 2AM your server time every day. Thank you.

  Thank you Michael. I ran the backup and this is what was generated in the log file: root@cpanel [/]# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/backup info [backup] Started at Tue Dec 17 14:21:31 2013 info [backup] Validating remote transports info [backup] Process started in background. info [backup] Log file: /usr/local/cpanel/logs/cpbackup/1387308091.log root@cpanel [/]# tail -f /usr/local/cpanel/logs/cpbackup/1387308091.log /bin/gtar: Removing leading `/' from member names /bin/gtar: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock: socket ignored /bin/gtar: Removing leading `/' from member names /bin/gtar: Removing leading `/' from member names /bin/gtar: Removing leading `/' from member names /bin/gtar: Removing leading `/' from member names /bin/gtar: Removing leading `/' from member names /bin/gtar: Removing leading `/' from member names /bin/gtar: /var/cpanel/dnsadmin/sock: socket ignored /bin/gtar: Removing leading `/' from hard link targets /bin/gtar: Removing leading `/' from member names /bin/gtar: Removing leading `/' from member names /bin/gtar: Removing leading `/' from member names /bin/gtar: Removing leading `/' from member names /bin/gtar: Removing leading `/' from member names /bin/gtar: Removing leading `/' from member names [backup] System backups will not be uploaded to any remote destinations
  I looked in the "Restore Backup" and there was no backup available. Shouldn't I see options to restore specific accounts or restore entire backup for that matter? -- edit After looking into the /backup folder, no files where backed up. -- edit Sorry, just noticed a "Select Accounts". I feel like this option shouldn't be nested. There should be a "Backup All Accounts" checkbox or if unchecked, then click "Select Accounts"
