![]() ![]() Consider mounting a backup server to your hosting server and storing the backups there (there is an option to mount external media in WHM > Configure Backups) or using an alternate method of backing up your server that doesn’t involve storing the backups locally. Similarly to above, if you’re using the cPanel Backup System and are storing your backups locally on the server, you could be using twice as much space as you need to. You can mass-delete all user cPanel backups on the server with this command:įor user in `/bin/ls -A /var/cpanel/users` do rm -fv /home/$user/backup-*$ done You may want to consider warning your users ahead of time that backups will automatically be removed from the server after a certain period of time or on certain dates. On larger servers, this can account for a lot of disk space usage. If you have the backup feature in cPanel enabled, chances are your users are storing the backups on the server instead of downloading and removing them. ![]() The server’s performing just fine, but there’s one problem…you’re out of disk space! Here are a few simple tricks to freeing up disk space on your cPanel server to help maximize your server’s potential.ġ) Delete user cPanel and Fantastsico backups To determine your entire account disk usage, you would then take this figure (419.21) and add it to the base account disk usage in the first section above (332) to determine that your total reseller account disk space is 751.21MB (419.21+332).I’m sure that most of you have been to the point where one or more of your servers start to fill up as you get more customers. Viewing your disk usage in this section saves you having to calculate the entire usage manually. This section shows that the accounts in this reseller area are currently using 419.21MB of the 12000/12GB the account has been allocated. You will then see a new account creation page, but if you scroll down a little you will find the following section: Perhaps an even easier way to view your WHM Disk usage is to choose the 'Create a new account' option on the left side. It does not mean that your main account can use 25GB and then the sub-accounts within WHM can also use 25GB! For example, if you purchased our 25GB disk space reseller account then your base account disk space and sub-account disk space must not exceed 25GB together. Whilst we do allow resellers to oversell their accounts in order to sell their own custom packages without limits, we do enforce this quite heavily, so you will need to ensure your total combined base account disk space and sub-account disk space remains under the disk quota you purchased. Once you've obtained a list of your account and how much space they are using, you will then need to add all these values together and combine them with your base account disk usage to reach the total value of your account disk usage. Viewing your disk usage in this way can be useful to determine which accounts are using the most disk space and to see which accounts may need to reduce their usage. ![]() You will then see a complete list of all accounts you have created in WHM, along with their disk quotas and disk usage. There are two methods to do this, the first is to login to WHM and select the 'List Accounts' option on the far left side. How do I view the disk usage for my sub-accounts? The only way at present to calculate your entire reseller account disk usage is to take the base account disk usage and then add this to the combined usage of all of your sub-accounts (accounts created via your reseller/WHM area). How do I view my entire disk usage combined then? Throughout this article we will be referring to the above disk usage as the base account disk usage. In the above screenshot, we see that the base account only is using 332MB of disk space. Any accounts created within your reseller are are not counted towards this disk usage at all and must be calculated separately. For example, if you were to have signed up using the domain name '', the disk space reported from within our client area applies to '' and its files only: To try and clarify this, our WHMCS client area will presently only show the disk usage of the base account name listed. Due to the way cPanel and WHM works, there can be a difference of disk usage reported by our systems and the actual disk usage of your account. ![]()
