hello CPanel community :) i am trying to change default full backup destination of dofullbackup.php, i am running this basic script in my cron job, whenever i set ftp true the backup will fail, is there a way to use lftp with this script? or ideally just set a different local folder output then root dir instead of moving a local file via ftp locally? TIA Chris [PHP]

  Hello, Rather than using the custom PHP script, try using the command referenced on the feature request for this functionality when setting up a cron job: Automatic Backup of single cPanel account Thank you.

  Thank you very much Michael, the suggested solution above doesn't seem to work in my case :( i am getting "cpapi1: command not found" (CentOs 6.9 shared hosting)

  We introduced this functionality in cPanel & WHM version 56. Could you verify the system you are testing this on is using that version of cPanel or newer? If not, you may want to reach out to your web hosting provider to inquire about updating cPanel to a newer version. Thank you.
