Manual for installing and configuring WHMCS module

1. Introduction

BackupAgent has integrated its service as a module into WHMCS v5 and higher. Service Providers

who use WHMCS can now easily roll-out online backup services using BackupAgent and provision

those services through the WHMCS interface. This shortens time-to-market significantly and

increases possible margins and return-on-investment.

authentication and provisioning using and API, integrating BackupAgent’s services with WHMCS

is a straightforward and seamless effort.

using WHMCS as a central provisioning platform.

2. Installation
