 | View Full Version : cPanel Backups Dathorn-Andrew 03-29-2003, 08:29 PM I've finally given the built-in cPanel daily incremental backup a try. Everything has worked just fine except that there is one problem. The files backed up on the second hard drive (generally 3 times that of the original account: daily, weekly, monthly) count towards a user's disk usage. I could simply add a chown to cron that would make them all owned by root but would that prevent me from being able to restore the backups properly? brandonk 03-30-2003, 01:40 AM unmount the back up drive serial 03-30-2003, 01:45 AM Rather than unmounting the partition/drive, remove usrquota and possibly grpquota from within /etc/fstab for the backup partition/drive and unmount & remount partitions or simply reboot the machine for the changes in fstab to take hold. Quotas will then be disabled for the backup partition/drive.
