    I have a dedicated server that need to backup daily.
    The problem is files on /home more than 20million and grow about 50000/day.
    What is better, WHM backup or Rsync?

    rsync is better. it will only add files which have been changed.

    I'd actually say differential or incremental backups would work better for you. You'd only be backing up changed files after the initial full backup, and that would save you a lot of space and inodes.
