📄 Overview

Backuply Server is a powerful and user-friendly backup solution designed for hosting environments. It supports automated multi-scheduling, a variety of storage locations (Local, FTP, SSH, S3, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.), and selective restoration options. This guide walks you through the installation process on supported control panels like Webuzo, cPanel, and DirectAdmin.

✅ Requirements

  • A server with root SSH access
  • One of the following control panels installed:
    • Webuzo
    • cPanel/WHM
    • DirectAdmin

🛠️ Install Backuply Server

Step 1: Connect via SSH

Log into your server as the root user using SSH.

ssh root@your-server-ip

Step 2: Download and Run the Installer

Execute the following commands to install Backuply:

wget -O backuply.sh https://a.softaculous.com/backuply-server/files/install.sh
chmod +x backuply.sh
./backuply.sh

The installer will auto-detect your control panel and install Backuply accordingly.

🔥 Firewall Access (Important)

To ensure successful installation and updates, allow the following domains and IPs through your firewall:

*.softaculous.com

And specifically:

142.132.212.2       # api.softaculous.com, a.softaculous.com
192.198.80.6        # s0.softaculous.com
158.69.6.246        # s1.softaculous.com
138.201.40.168      # s2.softaculous.com
178.63.132.196      # s3.softaculous.com
95.216.2.79         # s4.softaculous.com
148.251.137.79      # s5.softaculous.com
167.114.200.240     # s7.softaculous.com
46.250.225.249      # s8.softaculous.com

Use your firewall manager (e.g., CSF, firewalld, iptables) to allow these IPs.

✅ After Installation

Once installed:

  • cPanel/WHM: Navigate to WHM » Plugins » Backuply.
  • DirectAdmin: Go to Admin Level » Extra Features » Backuply.
  • Webuzo: Access via the Webuzo Admin Panel » Backuply.

From the interface, you can configure:

  • Backup schedules
  • Storage locations
  • Retention policies
  • Restore operations

📌 Notes

  • Backuply integrates with Softaculous systems, so Softaculous installation is not required separately.
  • You can configure remote storage after installation from the Backuply GUI.
