Post-install checks

cpstackbackup doctor
cpstackbackup qa run
cpstackbackup destination test
cpstackbackup plan

WHM:Home > Plugins > cpstackbackup

cPanel:Home > cpstackbackup > Restore Backups

Run one manual backup and a deep audit before relying on a new destination: cpstackbackup run --schedule manual, then cpstackbackup audit --deep --limit 1.

Install signed updates

Check the available version or apply the newest release. The updater refuses an altered manifest, mismatched archive hash, unsafe archive path, or non-HTTPS channel.

Update commands

cpstackbackup update --check
cpstackbackup update
cpstackbackup version

Uninstall safely

The standard uninstall removes the plugin while preserving configuration and state. Purge permanently removes configuration, logs, queues, and local application state.

Preserve configuration

wget -qO- https://soft.servercone.com/securebackup/uninstall.sh | bash

Permanent purge

wget -qO- https://soft.servercone.com/securebackup/uninstall.sh | bash -s -- --purge

Permanent action: use --purge only after confirming you have exported any configuration, logs, or recovery records you need.
