Hello Everyone, I hope this is the correct section to post in for this query ! I would like to backup ONLY ONE RESELLER completely with all his accounts, Can somebody let me know is there is a way to do this via WHM or if there is handly one line via CLI to do this. Thank you for your time.

  There is no way to do it via WHM unless you plan to update the list of users everytime they add a new one, but you can do so using SSH like so:
  for i in $(whmapi1 listaccts searchtype=owner search=RESELLERUSERNAME want=user |grep user: | awk '{print $2}') ; do /scripts/pkgacct $i ; done
  You would just change RESELLERUSERNAME with the actual resellers username, any accounts owned by that reseller will get a full cPanel account backup created in /home/

  You can also change the location to where the backups get stored like so:
  for i in $(whmapi1 listaccts searchtype=owner search=RESELLERUSERNAME want=user |grep user: | awk '{print $2}') ; do /scripts/pkgacct $i /backup ; done
  That would store all the backups in a folder called /backup - this might be handy if you have a backup drive mounted to the server

  Is it possible to change the destination folder, and do the accounts get compressed all in one file ? I just wanted to be clear before i commit one :) Thank you,

  If we want to take it one step further then I would actually create a folder with a date first otherwise the old backups will get overwritten:
  currdate=$(date +%Y-%m-%d) ; mkdir -p /backup/"$currdate" ; for i in $(whmapi1 listaccts searchtype=owner search=RESELLERUSERNAME want=user |grep user: | awk '{print $2}') ; do /scripts/pkgacct $i /backup/"$currdate" ; done
  ok Ill stop now :)

  and do the accounts get compressed all in one file ?

  
  No, each account would have its own compressed file.
