Transfer backup to Storagebox

[samuelmf]

Hi guys i have my WHM configured to copy my server backup to other cpanel server as additional destination.
Today i get Hetzner Storagebox service to store my backups there

Someone have experience sending backups to Hetzner Storagebox?, i someone knows a step by step to configure my WHM to send my backups as incremental by rsync there, i would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

Hey there! There isn't an official cPanel guide for Hetzner, as this isn't one of our officially-supported remote locations:

Restore remote backups - SSH/FTP/S3/Wasabi/Rsync/Hetzner Storage Boxes

Any idea when cPanel is going to allow backups to be restored remotely from SSH/FTP/S3/Wasabi/Rsync/Hetzner Storage Boxes. I have JetBackup 5 working on some servers, but the initial index takes forever, so god help me if ever needed to restore all accounts to the server. Before the backup...

forums.cpanel.net

If you're able to create an FTP user, I'd expect the FTP backup option to work well:

Backup Configuration | cPanel & WHM Documentation

The Backup Configuration interface allows system administrators to customize their scheduled backups.

Thanks for reply CpRex
Actually i'm connected to my storagebox from whm as an additional destination, by sftp, the whm stored the backup on the storagebox succesfully, but the problem is that i cannot connect by rsync and ssh using ssh keys.

 

[cPRex]

Are you able to connect to the remote destination on the command line as a user with SSH access? That would be the first thing I'd check regarding the rsync and SSH key issues - if it doesn't work directly on the command line as your user, it won't work from the backup tool.

I'm able to connect by SFTP,
when i try to ssh by Xshell, the server ask for user and then for password, and then it remains on black screen, if i press enter i get the message the server sends a disconnection packet.
Host 'u301424.your-storagebox.de' resolved to 142.132.153.141.
Connecting to 142.132.153.141:22...
Connection established.
To escape to local shell, press 'Ctrl+Alt+]'.

WARNING! The remote SSH server rejected X11 forwarding request.


If i enter from one of my cpanel servers cli
[root@core ~]# sftp -P23 [email protected]-storagebox.de
[email protected]-storagebox.de's password:
Connected to u301424.your-storagebox.de.
sftp>

I tryed with ssh keys, i already generated the ssh keys on my cpanel server, authorized the public hey, i uploaded it to .ssh folder of my storagebox but seems that i0m doing something wrong

 

[cPRex]

So when you try a connection with "ssh -i /path/to/ssh/key username@IPaddress" that doesn't work?

 

[samuelmf]

Is this correct?

ssh -i /root/.ssh/sce01root [email protected]-storagebox.de

 

[cPRex]

If "sce01root" is the name of your SSH key, and it is placed in /root, then yes.

 

[samuelmf]

Yes my key name is sce01root

[root@core ~]# ssh -i /root/.ssh/sce01root.pub [email protected]-storagebox.de

[cPRex]

That looks normal to me except for two things:

-you'll want to change the permissions on the key file to 644
-you don't seem to have the key setup correctly on the destination machine or else it wouldn't ask for a password

 

[samuelmf]

This is what happens if i remove .pub from keyfile name

[root@core ~]# ssh -i /root/.ssh/sce01root [email protected]-storagebox.de
Enter passphrase for key '/root/.ssh/sce01root':
[email protected]-storagebox.de's password:

[root@core ~]#

 

[cPRex]

Each key is a pair - you'll have key_name and also key_name.pub. The ".pub" version is the public key, which goes on the remote system you are connecting to. The key_name file is the private key that is kept on your local system.

Yes my key name is sce01root

[root@core ~]# ssh -i /root/.ssh/sce01root.pub [email protected]-storagebox.de

Sorry for paste screen shots, this is what i generated

Thanks for that output. With that information, it sounds like you need to contact Hetzner to see why you can't create those directories with your provided user.

 

[samuelmf]

I will share you a video wit the steps please take a look, and Thanks for all your time an patience

[samuelmf]

This is my current storagebox config

 

[cPRex]

Since you're not able to create the directories on the Hetzner side of things you'll need to contact them directly to see what the problem is.

 

[samuelmf]

Thanks for all the replys, i have already fixed, the problem was because i was creating the keyname with custom name and the storagebox needs that the name of the key must be id_rsa.
