cpanel backups are run as a root cronjob. run 'crontab -l' as root to view the crontab for root, and look for the job that calls /scripts/cpbackup. By default this should run at 1 am every day.
cPanel bases it's backups on the ctime stamp of the last backup archive. If one doesn't exist, cpanel will immediately create a copy of that archive. Otherwise, it will check each files timestamp when run, and then create a new archive if the last archive is more than 6 days old ( weekly ) or 29 days old ( monthly ).
