    Global Settings<\/h2>\n

    Configure the following global backup settings for your WHM account.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Backup Type<\/em> \u2014 Select one of the following settings to determine how the system stores backup files:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Compressed<\/em> \u2014 Select this setting to save all of your information in a compressed format. This setting uses less disk space but requires more time to finish a backup.<\/li>\n
      • Uncompressed<\/em> \u2014 Select this setting to save all of your information in an uncompressed format. This setting uses more disk space but runs faster than Compressed<\/em> backups.<\/li>\n
      • Incremental<\/em> \u2014 Select this setting to save all of your files in the directory tree. This setting uses a combination of hard links and files for speed and to save disk space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • \n

        Check the Available Disk Space<\/em> \u2014 Select this checkbox to enable the system to check whether the server contains the minimum free disk space available to create local backups. The system enables this setting by default.<\/p>\n

        \n
        Warning:<\/div>\n
        \n
          \n
        • If the server runs out of free disk space, critical services may no longer function until you create more available space.<\/li>\n
        • If you do not select this setting, the server will run backups regardless of the amount of free disk space available.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          After you select the Check the Available Disk Space<\/em> checkbox, you can perform the following steps:<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Enter the amount of free disk space that the backup system requires before it performs backups.<\/li>\n
          2. Select one of the following units of measurement:<\/li>\n
          3. %<\/em> \u2014 Percent of available disk space.<\/li>\n
          4. MB<\/em> \u2014 Megabytes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
          5. \n

            Maximum Destination Backup Timeout<\/em> \u2014 Enter the maximum number of seconds to allow a backup process to upload a single backup file to a destination.<\/p>\n

            \n
            Note:<\/div>\n
            \n

            Ensure<\/strong> that the number of seconds that you enter will provide enough time for the system to upload your largest<\/strong> backup file.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

          6. \n

            Maximum Backup Restoration Timeout<\/em> \u2014 Enter the maximum number of seconds to allow a backup process to restore a single backup file.<\/p>\n

            \n
            Note:<\/div>\n
            \n

            Ensure<\/strong> that the number of seconds that you enter will provide enough time for the system to restore your largest<\/strong> backup file.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                    The backup process and the transfer process use separate queues. If each backup completes much faster than each transfer, backup files can accumulate on the server and fill the hard drive.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

While you can back up directly to a remote filesystem, cPanel & WHM does not support this configuration. We strongly<\/strong> recommend that you work with a qualified system administrator to manage this custom backup path and avoid potential risks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                                  • \n

                                    We strongly<\/strong> recommend that you use unique filepaths when you store multiple-server backups in a shared filesystem. This action prevents backup file conflicts.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
