How to run Incremental AND Compressed backups?

[CrazySerb]

We currently have Backups set to Incremental, running daily.

But we want to have Compressed backups as well, at least weekly, if not daily as well, in case of any major issues and catastrophes so that we have full cPanel backup we can restore accounts from. Which, from my understanding, is not available or possible with Incremental backups.

How do we set that up in cPanel/WHM?

Or can we run some sort of a cron job that creates these full cPanel Compressed backups separately somehow?

Hello! There would unfortunately not be a supported way to run both. I might suggest submitting a feature request using the link in my signature and linking it here if you do so.

Sure thing.

Just posted it here:

Ability to set up BOTH Incremental AND Compressed Backups

It blows my mind that this is not an option already, as we could kinda sorta do this before the Legacy Backups were removed from WHM. But right now, there

features.cpanel.net

Thanks for the heads up!
