When forcing backup via command line, Is it possible to specify the account to be backed ? Sometimes I just need to backup one particular account. Thanks.

  Hello Dhillon, Yes, that is possible, you can backup a single account by giving in the following : # /scripts/pkgacct username

  Thanks triantect, but this doesn't store the data remotely (ftp, s3). but I guess I can cook a bash script with above command to store data remotely. Thanks again :)

  Hello :) It's not possible to force a backup generation for a single account unless you temporarily disable backups for all other accounts via "WHM Home " Backup " Backup User Selection". Instead, you could use /scripts/pkgacct and manually move it to a remote server (or develop a script that does it automatically). Thank you.
