Well, as slippy put it as well as myself, the backup system was setup incorrectly in cpanel, it didnt retain anything, it simply was over writing everything on a daily basis, the LW tech that staged this server and setup the backup system, screwed the pooch.

Here is another brief story about LW and its not to bash them, it may be only a few of them that are inept.

Member here gets new server, LW sets up firewall, server runs for crap for 5 days, high loads, users cant get in etc, techs battle this for 5 days!

LW keeps telling her, you need more RAM, here is a price quote for 16gb's 24gb's & 32gb's, mind u she already has 8gb's of RAM lol.

To keep it short, i disabled the firewall addon script ddos.sh (addon for APF) and all was well.

As i stated this isnt to bash LW, i had always heard good things about them, the point is, everyone, you need to make sure your backups are working and that you download them to your computer at home/work or to where ever, do not depend on a 2nd drive, do not depend on a NAS at the host, always get your own copies on a daily basis.
