In order to back up your dedicated server files on your local computer, access your
Dedicated Server via SSH and execute the following command:
rsync -e “ssh -p 16969″ -aHz YOUR_SERVER_IP:/home/USERNAME/ /home/LOCAL_USER/BACKUP/In this command, you may change YOUR_SERVER_IP with the IP of your server, USERNAME with the cPanel username, “/home/LOCAL_USER/BACKUP/” with another directory on the home computer where all the files will be stored. You must add trailing slashes after the folder names, otherwise sensitive data can be lost.
