Introduction

This article will cover the process of transporting backups to the remote destination manually.

Procedure

Access the server's command line as the 'root' user via SSH or "Terminal" in WHM.
Use the following command to find the ID of the remote destination to which you wish to transport.
```
whmapi1 backup_destination_list|grep "id:"
```
Use the cpbackup_transport_file script to transport the backup to the remote destination.
```
/scripts/cpbackup_transport_file --transport $ID --upload /path/to/backup/file.tar.gz
```
Please note that "$ID" and "/path/to/backup/file.tar.gz" must be replaced with the destination ID found in the previous command and the full path to the backup file to move to the remote destination, respectively.
