$cppass = "Password of your cPanel";
$domain = "Your domain Name: EX: yourdomainname.com";
//usually without the www's
$skin = "Current cPanel skin, which will usually be 'x3' ";

If the FTP location is the same as the server has the account you are backing up, leave these blank.
$ftpuser = "";
// Username for your FTP site
$ftppass = "";
// Password for your FTP site
$ftphost = "FTP hostname";
// (usually ftp.yourdomainname.com)
$ftpmode = "The mode in which you would like to have the file transferred.";
// We would recommend "passive" mode, especially for larger sites.
$notifyemail = "";
// Tosend the confirmation email once the backup is complete
$secure = "";
// Whether allow the script to access your cPanel through its secure ports
$debug = "Whether show the detailed backup results in your confirmation email";

3. Once the cpanel_backup.php file has been configured, upload it to your server. Please note that you are uploading the file outside of your document root (public_html) with permissions of 600.
