Introduction
This article will help you determine how much space a backup for a customer account takes up.
Procedure
First, you will want to determine where the backups are located. You can determine where your backups are located by pasting the following within ssh:
grep -i backupdir /var/cpanel/backups/config
You should see an output similar to the following:
grep -i backupdir /var/cpanel/backups/config
BACKUPDIR: /backup
You can search the contents in the backup directory. For example, if your backups are stored in /backups/2020-06-19, you can type the following to see how much space the backups are using:
ls -lh /backup/2020-06-19/accounts
