How to access your /home/cpbackuptmp/cpbackup/daily folder cPanel

I am a beginner with cPanel and databases and am having trouble finding the /home/cpbackuptmp/cpbackup/daily folder. I just took over a wordpress site and I was moved to a list where I get emails saying that "[cpbackup] Backup complete on [my site]". In the email it says that the files were backed up to the above location. Where do I go to access this folder? Can I find it through FTP or through the cPanel interface. I do not see it anywhere. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Thanks. I have been looking all day and have not found a good description of where to find the files.

Thanks to the both of you. As it turns out, we actually had a backup server where both the daily and weekly backup folders were located.

Have you server access, if you have root password then you can login to WHM with username: root and root's password. or login to shell and go to directories /home/cpbackuptmp/cpbackup/daily and check the backup as below:

cd /home/cpbackuptmp/cpbackup/daily

ls -l

If you are having root access, First of all check

Home »Backup »Backup Configuration

From whm. There you can see whether the backups configured as remote ftp or standard.

If its via ftp then there will be the location and ftp credentials

If its via standard , files are backups are stores by default location /backup

/backup can't access by any accounts by cPanel GUI. You need to ssh to the server to see the backups.
