Not enough space for backup
In short - I can't make backup because I don't have enough space.
In need somehow tell WHM to use out-of-server storage.
If i set Google Drive as Additional Destination - will it first try to make backup on local drive and then transfer that backup on Google Drive? I think yes. What are my options then? Please advise.
Acronis Backup? I don't need nothig fancy, just disk drive outside the server and tell WHM to use that drive. As simple as that.
Thank you

Hey there! Yes, the backup still has to be created locally before it can be moved to an external storage solution. If you could add another drive to the server or free up some space that would be the best solution.

Hi! Thank you very much for reply.
I can use like USB stick, 500GB, and mount that and use that for backup folder location, that is local?

Sure - as long as it's setup properly in the operating system, cPanel doesn't care as long as it isn't a partition used to store live website data (such as /home)

So there is no way to bypass the local backup and backup to remote FTP server ?

No, because it has to build the backup first and confirm there are no errors before it starts moving data.
