Hello guys!

Im trying to backup all the accounts on my whm to my second HD.

I made the setup at whm/backup... and defined the folder home2/mybackup

Im getting this alert on my email:

**************************************
[cpbackup] Setting up mount
[cpbackup] running: /bin/mount /home2/mybackup
mount: can't find /home2/mybackup in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[cpbackup] running: /bin/mount -o remount,rw /home2/mybackup
mount: can't find /home2/mybackup in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
Notification => myemail@gmail.com via EMAIL [level => 1]
[cpbackup] Backup failed! /home2/mybackup is not mounted! at /scripts/cpbackup line 851.
**************************************

i don't get this mounting thing...

should i create the folder myself? or when i define a folder from the whm/backup setup it will create the folder by itself?

Or what seems to be the problem thing with this mounting thing...?

Thanks guys!

Did you actually create the partition, or are you just assuming the server will do this for you?

I have the partition /home2 ... this is a second hd.

i created the folder in this partition /home2/mybackup ...
do i need to set permissions or something?
does the backup folder needs to be a partition?

thanks for your answer.

Then you want backups in /home2/ not /home2/mybackup/, OR you want to turn off the mounting option, either way.
Personally, I'd take /home2/, as cPanel already puts your backups into it's own directory (cpbackup).

Once you do this, you should be fine.

thanks man.

I have in my HD number one... my system and cpanel etc etc etc.

In my second HD (/home2) i want to put all the backups, in the configuration on cpanel is an option where you tell the script to do the backups in a specific folder or partition, i want to use "/home2/mybackup"
so i put that address in that input on the whm, i have the folder created but it gives me this error i put at the top.

So i was wondering does that folder can to be a simple folder or needs to a partition...
