cpbackup question

Hi, I've a question about cpbackup. On particular days web server starts taking both weekly and daily backups. Is there anyway I can arrange such that when there is a day for weekly backup, it doesn't take daily backup. Thanks, Jilesh

There is no option for this in WHM. Only you select the type of backup and the days they should be run.

why don't you customize it 1. cp /scripts/cpbackup /scripts/cpbackupweekend 2. cp /etc/cpbackup.conf /etc/cpbackupweekend.conf 3. edit /etc/cpbackupweekend.conf 4. edit cronjob 0 0 * * 1-5 /scripts/cpbackup 0 0 * * 6 /scripts/cpbackupweekend just my own idea i can think off..

It is difficult, /scripts/cpbackup uses the /etc/cpbackup.conf as the conf file.

not so difficult.. i tried before. open /scripts/cpbackupweekend and edit replace "/etc/cpbackup.conf" with "/etc/cpbackupweekend.conf" then you need to edit /etc/cpbackupweekend.conf

If it worked, it looks cool idea.
