I'm trying to find a way to backup a single cpanel account using the new backup system. "/scripts/pkgacct" - creates the compressed file I need but just puts it in the local /home folder. I need to to export to my webdav additional location as defined in the backup configuration. I found a command to force a backup of all accounts using the new backup system: /usr/local/cpanel/bin/backup --force But how do I force a backup of just one account using the new backup system?

  Hello, You would have to manually copy the archived backup file to the remote destination after backing it up through "/scripts/pkgacct", or you would have to temporarily exclude all users except for the one you want copied before running the "/usr/local/cpanel/bin/backup --force". You can do this via: "WHM >> Backup >> Backup User Selection" Thank you.
