Modifying Your Backup Schedule

Compressing your backups can be a great way to save space; however, you need to keep in mind that these backups will take longer to generate and the process will be more resource-intensive.

if you have multiple cPanel accounts, or you are finding that you don't have any backups but you have them enabled, you may want to check Backup User Selection to be sure backups are enabled on the correct usernames.
