Difficulty Integrating My Cloud Storage Service with cPanel Backup Functionality
"Hello,
I’m currently running a cloud storage website, and I'm trying to integrate my service as a reliable backup solution for users who manage their sites through cPanel. The idea is to allow seamless storage and backup options directly to my cloud platform from within cPanel's backup interface.
However, I'm facing some challenges with setting up secure API connections and ensuring compatibility with cPanel’s existing backup system. The documentation I have doesn’t clearly cover cPanel's API requirements for third-party cloud integrations, and I’m unsure how to proceed.
Has anyone successfully linked their cloud storage solution to cPanel for automated backups, or could provide guidance on the best way to implement this securely? Any help would be appreciated! I’m looking to offer a reliable and scalable solution for cloud storage backups tailored for cPanel users.
Thank you!"

cPanel >> Backups was not designed in such a way to anticipate pluggability like this.
While we do have the ability for system administrators in WHM to configure the backup process to upload copies of backups to remote destinations (and the ability to have a "custom" destination), I doubt that's the context you are interested in unless I'm misunderstanding you.
You'd want to instead make your own page in cPanel and allow the cPanel user to arrange the connection you need to your service, at which point you can install whatever necessary crons etc. you need to effect upload of the backup on a regular basis to your cloud service (which can be created and output to the user's home directory via https://api.docs.cpanel.net/openapi/cpanel/operation/fullbackup_to_homedir/).
Hope this helps!
