How good is it?

What does it back up?

does it make a highload on the server?



thank you

I have 7 servers in C&W datacenter. Two of them are non-Raid machine. I take weekly backup under WHM. But the load is as high as 50.0!! But , those servers must be backuped. WHM backup system could be improved? Many users in those servers are complaining.

It does the job well especially since it has quite a number of features to configure.

It can backup logs, sql dbs, emails, account profiles, cpanel configurations, user home directories and such.

If you don't zip the backups, the loads are fine.

It is also a good idea to run the backups during non-peak hours where load is not so high. This can be done adding a cron job. SSH in and:

crontab -e

Add the following, for instance, and backups will run every night at 3 o'clock:

0 3 * * * /scripts/upcp

Yes. I would recommend around after 3-4am. But you have to look at a few things (including where most of your clients reside).

There's already a cron job. So instead of adding, amend the original entry. Or you may find yourself with it running twice a night.
