We have a dual xeon, 2 drives, cpanel.

I went through the procedure to configure backup drive.

/backup was already listed in the backup destination.

When I submitted, I received this error:

/backup is not a directory..
Backup has been disabled to prevent file loss..
/backup does not exist..
Backup has been disabled to prevent file loss..
Backup Configuration Saved!

make sure your second drive si mounted good and what drive has backup folder

for example, if you do

/dev/hda3 xxG xxG xxG xx% /
/dev/hda1 99M 15M 78M xx% /boot
none 505M 0 504M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdc1 xxG xxG xxG xx% /backup
/dev/hdc2 xxG xxM xxG x% /home2


do you see the /bakup is mounted on the second drive.

hope that helps.

ssh root


a) to check the hdds info

/sbin/fdisk -l

b)
mkdir /backup /backup

c)

mount /dev/sdb3 /backup

d)

pico -w /etc/fstab

[ add the /dev/sdb /backup ext3 defaults 0 0 at bottom of list
like below ]

********************************

IF you have a NEW server:

a) umount /home2

b) mkdir /backup


c) pico -w /etc/fstab

find

/dev/sdb3 /home2 ext3 defaults 0 0


change to [the # is the number of the partition]


/dev/sdb# /backup ext3 defaults 0 0

ctrl X

[then]

mount /dev/sdb# /backup
