How to grant backup access to reseller
Hello,
I hope you all are fine. Yesterday, I received a support ticket from a reseller client that he wants to remotely backup his clients' data into his cloud account. He also suggested me JetBackup plugin. He wants to get Reseller has all privilidges (same as root) permission from JetBackup, which I denied to grant.
Please guide is it possible that resellers can remotely backup his data other than permission mentioned above?
Regards

I think there's a tab available in jetbackup called "permission" where you can grant whatever access you want to reseller.
https://docs.jetbackup.com/manual/whm/Permissions/allPermissions.html
But you shouldn't grant all privileges to reseller same as root.
This is actual point, in which I have denied him. Is there not any other reason that reseller can create remote backups to their cloud accounts.
Tell them to get whmeasybackup it’s a script that will backup their files.
It worked for him
Hello @pakhost,
Just to clarify, you can change Global Reseller permissions or set permissions for a specific reseller account in JetBackup, without granting unnecessary or excessive permissions. The permissions listed below can be set to "Yes" on the "WHM > JetBackup > Permissions" page to allow a reseller to create and manage their own remote destination(s), and create and manage their own backup job(s).
The above permissions will only allow the reseller to view and manage destinations/backup jobs created by that specific reseller.
Please note that granting these permissions to a reseller may reduce server performance depending on their Destination or Backup Job configuration and your available server resources. Additionally, we would recommend double-checking any permission changes yourself to ensure you're only providing the intended level of access.
