B2 support was released with WHM version 78<\/a> on February 20, 2019.<\/div>\n

Anyone who\u2019s managed a business or personal website is likely familiar with cPanel<\/a>, the control panel that provides a graphical interface and tools that simplify the process of managing a website. IT professionals who\u2019ve managed hosting servers might know cPanel\u2019s big brother, WHM (Web Host Manager), which is used by server administrators to manage large web hosting servers and cPanels for their customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Just as with any other online service, backup is critically important to safeguard user and business data from hardware failure, accidental loss, or unforeseen events. Both cPanel and WHM support a number of applications for backing up websites and servers.<\/p>\n

JetApps\u2019s JetBackup cPanel App<\/h2>\n

One of those cPanel applications is JetApps\u2019s JetBackup<\/a>, which supports backing up data to a number of destinations, including local, remote SSH, remote FTP, and public cloud services. Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage<\/a> was added as a backup destination in version 3.2.<\/p>\n

JetBackup configuration for B2<\/p>\n

Directions for configuring JetBackup with B2<\/a> are available on their website.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong>\u00a0 JetBackup version 3.2+ supports B2 cloud storage<\/a>, but that support does not currently include incremental backups. JetApps has told us that incremental backup support will be available in an upcoming release.<\/p>\n

Interested in more B2 Support for cPanel and WHM?<\/h3>\n

JetBackup support for B2 was added to JetBackup because their users asked for it. Users have been vocal in asking vendors to add cPanel\/WHM support for backing up to B2 in forums and online discussions, as evidenced on cPanel.net and elsewhere — here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>. The old axiom that the squeaky wheel gets the grease is true when lobbying vendors to add B2 support — the best way to have B2 supported by an app is to express your interest directly to the backup app provider.<\/p>\n

Other Ways to Back Up Website Data to B2<\/h3>\n

When a dedicated backup app for B2 is not available, some cPanel users are creating their own solutions using the B2 Command Line Interface<\/a> (CLI), while others are using Rclone to back up to B2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

B2 CLI example:<\/p>\n

#!\/bin\/bash
\nb2 authorize_account ACCOUNTID APIKEY
\nb2 sync –noProgress \/backup\/ b2:\/\/STORAGECONTAINER\/<\/div>\n

Rclone example:<\/p>\n

rclone copy<\/a> \/backup backblaze:my-server-backups –transfers 16<\/div>\n

Those with WordPress websites have other options for backing up their sites, which we highlighted in a post, Backing Up WordPress<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Having a Solid Backup Plan is What’s Important<\/h3>\n
