looking for automatic backups service for cPanels/FTP
Hi there, was wondering if there is a service that basically paying a subscription it automatically backups to a remote location cPanels content, also via FTP.
I need something like that to create a second backup other than the hosting backups itself.
(location in EU)

You can check our backup storage plans:

pretty cool service, does it backup the whole cPanel or just the FTP files?
cPanel can create a full backup (files, databases, emails, etc) and send it to the remote backup storage (for example our service).
It is cpanel that does that, not our storage plan. In short, the backups are generated on your server and just sent over to the remote location.
Even as a shared hosting customer, if you have shell access you can write a basic script to run a full backup using the cPanel API, encrypt if if you choose to, then scp it to a remote host.
Run it every x hours via a cron
rsync?
There's also https://whmeasybackup.com/, which is basically a convenient script to backup to an ftp server or other remote destination if you have a whm account (but should also work with cpanel accs).
Big fan of JetBackup, could hook that up to a cheap storage server or even a Hetzner Storage Box.
Yes, but what I'm looking for is some sort of automation without having to develop my own script to push and handle the retention period.
Using the WHM API Token
Cannot believe a SaaS hosted service like https://whmeasybackup.com/ that provides also the storage does not exist.
What type of hosting do you have? Shared hosting? Reseller hosting? VPS? Dedicated server?
reseller
Your Host doesn't provide you any software such as jetbackup or similar?
You need both a software running on your server and a remote backup storage location for your backups.
they do already their own backups with their software, but I want to add another layer that is not dependant from the host
Correct! You need a software such as https://whmeasybackup.com/ and a remote backup storage.

I think youre contradicting yourself just write your own script then......
Did you check cpanel docs Why not roll your own from the whm example and save the do
What's not clear in my message?
Independent from host, I think rsync and cron would be a good start, But you also have an Automated Backup Wizard built in, then there is also the JetBackup Acronis CodeGuard R1Soft.....
I already said it's a reseller, I do not have full server access obv. Not much choice other than the WHM API Tokens or FTP access
Okay that does not exclude third party which I posted for you And some can support your reseller account if you would check their offerings you would see that very clearly using the word Reseller......
