Hi, since last WHM Update, WHM dont delete the old backups after/while creating the new backups. I dont use the legacy backup method and havent did change on configurations. Where can be the problem?

  Do you mean that backups that just backup that user's files and databases are incomplete ? Lots of webhosts backup with Rsync or R1Soft. Both of these just backup the files. I fail to see why an account over quota cannot be backed up and why this backup wouldn't be complete.

  Hello @monarobase, During the backup process, /scripts/pkgacct runs as the account username when packaging the account, and thus the process can fail if the account has exceeded it's quota. Temporarily granting more space to an account to allow a backup to complete is a change to the existing design of the backup system, and thus a feature request is recommended for such a change. Thank you.

  Hello, To update, here's documentation on the "Strictly enforce retention, regardless of backup success" feature included with cPanel version 64 to help address the concerns expressed on this thread: Backup Configuration - Version 64 Documentation - cPanel Documentation Thank you.
