You need to configure the cpanel backup feature in WHM

Hi 10q, i have try.. but the result is : *_*

mount: /dev/hdb already mounted or /backup busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/hdb is already mounted on /backup

if i m using SSH access to root/ i m sure is in hda , right?
but my backup files in locate in hdb, correct?
how can i access to my hdb to check my backup files?
bcoz i hope can save some backup into my local pc.

Yes, if you choose weekly backups it will also do monthly backups. If you do dail backups, it will do weekly and monthly backups too.

Leaving all the days checked is fine.
