Bash script to take cPanel backup in batches
I'm trying to resolve the below scenario by writing bash script.

On my managed linux server I have about 30 accounts and there is not enough space to generate full 30 accounts backup in one go and transfer it via SFTP to my Backup Synology Server. What I'm thinking of doing is breaking the backup into batches and transfer it over accordingly to prevent server choking:

Steps:
Quote:
Generate 5 accounts cPanel Backup
Transfer the backup generated to Synology backup server via SFTP
Delete the backups on source server.
Repeat the process until all accounts are transferred in batches.
a. I have create 5 list of accounts into each array and named it cPList1 cPList2 ....and so on:
e.g.
cPList1(account1 account2 account3)
cPList2(account4 account 5 account6)
b. Then I have created another array list that contains all cPLists
e.g. mainList(cPList1 cPList2)
The logic that I'm trying to use is:

Code:
#Outer Loop to process mainList array elements
for i in "${mainList[@]}"
do
#Inner Loop to to process cPList array elements
for j in "${i[@]}" **

<<--I need help with this part, I was expecting the j variable to be accounts1, acocunts2 ...and so because it is supposed to be the elements of i variable. However, when I echo both i and j they hold same values i'e cPList1, cPList2 ....

SFTP 5 accounts backup to Synology
delete transferred files
done
done


Any input will be appreciated.

bashbug-64

BASHBUG(1)						      General Commands Manual							BASHBUG(1)

NAME

       bashbug - report a bug in bash

SYNOPSIS

       bashbug [--version] [--help] [email-address]

DESCRIPTION

       bashbug	is  a shell script to help the user compose and mail bug reports concerning bash in a standard format.	bashbug invokes the editor
       specified by the environment variable EDITOR on a temporary copy of the bug report format outline. The user must fill  in  the  appropriate
       fields  and  exit  the  editor.	 bashbug  then	mails the completed report to bug-bash@gnu.org, or email-address.  If the report cannot be
       mailed, it is saved in the file dead.bashbug in the invoking user's home directory.

       The bug report format outline consists of several sections.  The first section provides information about the  machine,	operating  system,
       the  bash  version, and the compilation environment.  The second section should be filled in with a description of the bug.  The third sec-
       tion should be a description of how to reproduce the bug.  The optional fourth section is for a proposed fix.  Fixes are encouraged.

ENVIRONMENT

       bashbug will utilize the following environment variables if they exist:

       EDITOR Specifies the preferred editor. If EDITOR is not set, bashbug defaults to emacs.

       HOME   Directory in which the failed bug report is saved if the mail fails.

       TMPDIR Directory in which to create temporary files and directories.
