Custom Transport Script for WHM/cPanel Backups

We would like to use our Azure Storage containers to store our WHM/cPanel backups on Blobs. By default cPanel does not provide this as a backup target but it does have the ability to create your own transport scripts for this very reason.

The documentation from cPanel is very good and the WHM/cPanel Documentation for Custom Backup Scripts is here https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/CKB/How+to+Create+a+Custom+Transport+Script+for+Backups

There would be 2 scripts required from you to achieve this. The Azure Blob Container would already exist so the script does not need to handle the creation of any Containers.

Script 1
The Transport Script written in Bash script as per the cPanel documentation with 7 commands as listed in the documentation. This script would use Script 2 to perform each command.

Script 2
Script 2 would be a Python (version 2.7) script that would handle the communication between Script 1 and Azure. Documentation on using Python with Azure Blob storage is available here https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-python/tree/master/azure-storage-blob

We will place the money in escrow and the funds would be released when we had performed a successful backup and restore 3 days in a row.

We can provide access to a test cPanel server and Azure Container if required

Any questions please ask.
