How to take the backup of an account in cPanel

This post explains the steps to take the backup of an account in a cPanel server.

1: ssh into your server as root.

2: Execute the following command.

/scripts/pkgacct <username>

Replace <username> with the username of the account of which you want to take the backup.

3: The username of the domains are listed in the file:

/etc/trueuserdomains

4: Press Enter and a backup of the account will be created.

By default, the backup will be stored in /home/

You can specify a custom directory to store the backup by:

/scripts/pkgacct username directory

If you want to exclude the home directory of the account when the backup is taken:

/scripts/pkgacct --skiphomedir username

To exclude the account’s MySQL and PostgreSQL databases:

/scripts/pkgacct --skipacctdb  username

To exclude an account’s subdomains, parked domains, and addon domains use:

/scripts/pkgacct --skipdomains username
