    Hello

    How can i schedule a daily full site backup?

    The server is used for shared hosting and i can login as root and i want to auto backup every account daily.

    Thank you

    Also how can i create a root ftp account that i can view all accounts from there and backup data ?

    I was try using the whm login info but it doesn't work....

    Ok thanks :)

    Also i think in the server is something like this:

    /home/domain1.com/public_html/userfiles1
    /home/domain2.com/public_html/userfiles2
    /home/domain3.com/public_html/userfiles3

    And so on ....

    How can i login from ftp and view the home directory as my root username and password don't work...

    Thank you

    ...which would back up /home

    tar xzvf full_site_backup.tar.gz
    Code (markup):
    ...which would restore the back up.
