Change cPanel Backup Time

There are times when you want to change your cPanel backup time. Especially when you are doing scheduled backup on WHM. Usually this is hardcoded by your system administrator and if you have root access, you can change it to suit your need.

Change cPanel Backup Time

The time is set in the /var/spool/cron/root file. You will see something like these:

0 11 * * * /scripts/upcp

That means the backup will at 11:00am

You can change it in shell by doing

crontab -e

It will open the file for you to edit. After you have done, save it. It would be best to load the backup whenever it is the lowest, but early enough in that period that the backup has time to finish before the server starts getting busy again.
