You want to mount the cpanel site tree via NFS on a third server and copy it over? &nbsp;As in,<br />
<br />
ServerA = Hosting server<br />
ServerB = Backup<br />
<br />
serverb&gt; mount -t nfs servera:/home/sites/ /mnt/nfs/sites<br />
serverb&gt; tar -cvzf /backups /mnt/nfs/sites<br />
<br />
? &nbsp;Is that correct?<br />
<br />
It should work with no difficulty/side effects, though honestly I'd suggest rsyncd instead. &nbsp;Less overhead and it will only copy changes. &nbsp;Very easy to set up, also.<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
We want to implement NFS mount and do backups via NFS mount in cpanel servers. We want to know<br />
whether there is any risks in doing this. Is it stable?<br />
<br />
Can we use NFS for backing up cpanel servers ?<br />
<br />
We want to know whether is there any advantages or disadvantages of using NFS<br />
to have cPanel backup. Will it cause the server to crash?<br />
<br />
Any help will be appreciated.... Thanks in advance ....<br />
