    Hi,

    Since the homedir is more than 10G, take a backup using /scripts/pkgacct --skiphomedir username. This will take the backup of everything except your home directory. Then rsync or scp the home dir to a remote place. :cool:

    Hope this helps :D

    the easiest way to back up is using
    rsync
    2 possible options
    backup to another online location (a backup server for example or a backup space on a friends server)
    and of course you have a full backup on your laptop !!!

    a later rsync just adds modified files

    in addition you backup and download all mysql dbs !

    Either of those 2 solutions would work, but for cPanel, @ideamines method would be better as restoring is very simple with full cPanel backups.

    You would upload the backup to the /home directory then run the below command to restore

    /scripts/restorepkg cpanelusername

    Afterwards you upload your home directory to restore that using rsync or FTP

    This method would backup files and databases. (That is assuming you rsync and FTP your home directory.)
