Backup Location

[hmaddy]

following is my disk details

df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs 63G 0 63G 0% /dev
tmpfs 63G 6.2M 63G 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs 63G 1.4M 63G 1% /run
tmpfs 63G 0 63G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/md3 295G 243G 37G 87% /
/dev/md2 2.0G 578M 1.3G 31% /boot
/dev/md4 3.2T 319G 2.7T 11% /home
/dev/md0 256M 5.8M 250M 3% /boot/efi
/dev/loop0 3.9G 19M 3.7G 1% /tmp

so /backup have no space to take backup. All free space allocated to /home.

so can i use a backup folder like this /home/backup

Yes, that is fine. You've to create the folder /home/backup first, and then enter this in the cPanel Backup Configuration settings to use it going forward during backup generation. I'd also suggest keeping backups in remote storage too.

that i understand, but my doubt is "Is there any issue if i configured like this"

Yes, there is:
