| Backup?
Hello
I have a reseller account how would I go about backing up everything all 10 accounts? Would I do it from /cpanel and not from /whm? Would this backup all accounts I have on the reseller and all the subdomains and files and databases?

| Do a backup of each account from it's own cpanel and download it. You can even FTP it to an off-site server from there.

| You can buy offsite backup hosting also - fairly cheap depending on providers.

| You can only download backups separately for each account from their Cpanel. So you cannot download the backup of all accounts as one file on WHM. Reseller hostings don't include this feature.
Also some companies provide weekly backup. If any data removed when you can download weekly backup on Cpanel.

| Cpanel backups are to be generated via Cpanel and for each cpanel account separately. The easiest way is WHM access > access users cpanel using List accounts > generate a backup each under cpanel
The alternative method would be to ask server's support to copy all your backups to a single directory.

| You can automate the whole process.
First buy an ftp account - they are very cheap from places like BQbackup, Fusionxhost etc.
Check the scripts at http://www.josheli.com/vox/ and see what fits for you.

If you are looking for a casual emergency backup then :
Do you have shell access? If yes, then you can zip your files excluding unwanted files / folders like logs, etc, which need not be backed up and save space. The tar command is the best to use and can be run as a scheduled task using the cron feature if available on the server. YOu can see linux.org Lesson 15 which will guide you with the simple commands.
If you are looking for account settings as well as data backup then this should be something the server owner should be doing (Master Reseller). To be on a safer side, you can make a full backup as others have suggested and a cron job as said earlier to zip necessary files then on.
