Managing Your Backup in Reseller Hosting

It is possible that some of your clients are using more backup space than others while you, as the reseller, administer their accounts (child accounts). You can change the allocated disk space even though all accounts share the same amount of storage.
There will not be any storage space left for other child accounts to make backups, for example, if you have 10GB available and one kid account is consuming it all.
To avoid this to happen, you can apply limits to each account. With this, your other accounts can have space for backups.

How to View Backup Usage?

This will teach you to see how much space each youngster is using up. As such, you will be able to figure out how much room each of them needs.

• Log into cPanel for the primary Reseller account.
• In the Files section, click the Backup Manager link.

• Go to the Child Accounts tab.

• It will display the list of your child accounts. Navigate to the Current Backup Usage section, view the amount of disk space each account is using.

How to Increase Backup Limit?

You know the amount of space used by each account now, so, let’s check the ways to increase the backup limit. For instance, if one account is exceeding the 5GB limit and another is only using 1GB, you can increase the available space for the larger account.

• In cPanel, click on the Backup Manager.
• Next click the Child Accounts tab.
• You will see the current Backup Limit, besides the child account. Using the arrows you can increase the Backup Limit or enter a new value.

• Remember that the total amount of space assigned between all child accounts can’t exceed the Backup Limit of the parent account.
• In order to save your new backup limit, click on Apply Backup Limits button.
• When you see a green “applied” message, you are done with the process.

Now, you have learned to view backup usage and increase the backup limit for Reseller accounts. If you aren’t a hostvento a customer you can sign up on our Reseller Hosting  page.
