WHM Force Backup?

[Wanch]

I'm trying to force WHM/Cpanel to do a backup via SSH. I go into /scripts and run

# ./cpbackup

Which gives me this message:

[cpbackup] Process started in background.
[cpbackup] Log file: /usr/local/cpanel/logs/cpbackup/1214825460.log

So I vim (or tail -20) the log file and see

[cpbackup] Started at Mon Jun 30 07:31:00 2008
[cpbackup] Daily Backup is up to date.
[cpbackup] Completed at Mon Jun 30 07:31:00 2008

but I need to FORCE it to backup! I need a backup now because I have changed the backup settings. How do I force/make WHM/Cpanel to do a new backup?

Even though it isn't in the documentation use:

# ./cpbackup --force

Which will make it run a backup.

oh, that works. I wonder why there is no ./cpbackup --help?

That is odd, most programs in Linux have --help or --h at least. Maybe just bad programming?
