The plugin integrates WHM and cPanel with Acronis Backup or Acronis Cyber Cloud. With the plugin, a WHM user can:

• Back up an entire cPanel server to the cloud storage with the disk-level backup
• Recover the entire server including all of the websites
• Perform granular recovery of websites, individual files, mailboxes, mail filters, mail forwarders, accounts, and databases, including the databases created outside of WHM
• Enable self-service recovery for cPanel accounts once the plugin is installed and configured, the server is backed up on a predefined schedule.

A backup can also be started on demand. The backup schedule can be configured in the Acronis web console. Recovery can be performed from the WHM and cPanel interfaces. It is not possible to back up individual websites. However, the rights for self-service recovery can be granted to each account separately.

System requirements

• PHP version 5.6 or later.
• Granular recovery of databases is supported only for local MySQL. Granular recovery of PostgreSQL databases is not supported.
• Besides the plugin, a backup agent must be installed on the same machine. If cPanel is running on a Virtuozzo container, the backup agent must be installed on the Virtuozzo host instead of the container.
