Better, Stronger…<\/h2>\n

In case you haven’t heard, the cPanel & WHM Backup System, introduced more than 5 years ago, is our replacement for the Legacy Backup system. The new backup system offers the ability to back up accounts as uncompressed, compressed, or\u00a0incremental backups<\/a>. \u00a0Scheduling and retention<\/a>\u00a0options are configurable for daily, weekly and monthly retention schedules. Server owners also can enable backups for specific users, define whether or not suspended accounts are backed up, back up system configurations, log files, and DNS settings.<\/p>\n

This system comes with many other benefits as well. Beyond things like the disk space check, timeout limiter, and the migration interface, we include support for a number of\u00a0remote backup destinations<\/a>\u00a0(including any FTP- or rsync-compatible destination, Google Drive, Amazon S3) as well. If those don’t give you everything you need, though, you can also create your own\u00a0Custom Backup Transport Destination<\/a>\u00a0with ease.<\/p>\n

If you are using the new backup system, you can also take advantage of\u00a0File and Directory restorations<\/a>. Our incremental backups allow cPanel users and webhosting providers to restore files or folders from account backups without requiring an entire cPanel account restoration.<\/p>\n

…And Faster!<\/h2>\n

The account restoration side of the new system has gotten a lot of work in the last year or so, and restoration times have vastly improved since version 60. We did some testing, using some real-life backups that our users submitted for our testing. On a test account with normal account data, and 1000 emails in a single email account we saw restorations decrease from an average of 16.4 seconds to 9.1 seconds.\u00a0That’s a decrease of 44.7%!<\/strong>\u00a0A second account had 8 subdomains and a small MySQL database. The restore in\u00a0v60 averaged 22.9 seconds, while in v74 it was only 9.5 seconds.\u00a0That’s a<\/strong>\u00a0d<\/strong>ecrease of 58.6%<\/strong><\/p>\n

Be advised that no two systems are the same, and your results may vary. For a quick look, you can watch\u00a0this tutorial<\/a>\u00a0on the\u00a0cPanelTV YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What’s up next?<\/h2>\n

While not currently available, we are working to add features that will help customers who might not want to migrate to the new backup system. One request is to\u00a0allow a server owner to create multiple backups daily on any account, or have\u00a0different retention schedules for different locations<\/a>, or just store\u00a0different backups on different locations altogether<\/a>. Previously, a user would have to use both Legacy Backups and the Backup System to create two or more user backups on a single day.\u00a0 We have quite a few different feature requests for the Backup System, so please give them a look and vote on the ideas you’d like to see implemented! Take a look at all of the requests in the\u00a0Backup category<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Migrate to the new system now!<\/h2>\n

In v64 we added a migration tool to help users migrate from the Legacy Backup system to the new system. This tool duplicates your current configuration, preventing you from having to manually set everything up in the new system again. If you haven’t already, take a look at the\u00a0release note<\/a> from that version, or our\u00a0documentation on the feature<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For any further questions or concerns, please reach out to us via the\u00a0cPanel Forums<\/a>,\u00a0Feature Request Site<\/a>, or via our\u00a0Support team<\/a>, or you can discuss the Backup System with us at this year’s\u00a0cPanel Conference<\/a>!
