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.

BBACKUPD-CONFIG(8)						    Box Backup							BBACKUPD-CONFIG(8)

NAME

       bbackupd-config - Box Backup client daemon configuration file generator

SYNOPSIS

       bbackupd-config config-dir backup-mode account-num server-hostname working-dir backup-dir [backup-dir ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The bbackupd-config script creates configuration files and client certificates. It takes at least six parameters:

       config-dir
	   Configuration directory. Usually /etc/box.

       backup-mode
	   Either lazy or snapshot.

       account-num
	   The client account number. This is set by the bbstored administrator.

       server-hostname
	   The hostname or IP address of the bbstored server.

       working-dir
	   A directory to keep temporary state files. This is usually something like /var/bbackupd. This can be changed in bbackupd.conf later on
	   if required.

       backup-dir
	   A space-separated list of directories to be backed up. Note that this does not traverse mount points.

FILES

       /etc/box/bbackupd.conf

       /etc/box/bbackupd/NotifySysAdmin.sh
