JetBackup 5 AlmaLinux Repository Fix Guide

Complete Solution for Repository Issues and Professional Installation

⚠️ Important: This comprehensive guide will help you fix repository issues with JetBackup 5 on AlmaLinux servers. Ensure you have root access before proceeding. This guide is specifically designed for AlmaLinux 8, 9, and newer versions running cPanel/WHM.

Why JetBackup 5?

JetBackup 5 is the leading backup solution for cPanel servers, offering:

  • Automated incremental backups with minimal server impact
  • Multiple backup destination support (local, remote, cloud)
  • One-click restore functionality
  • Advanced scheduling and retention policies
  • Full cPanel integration for user self-service
1 Check Current Repository Configuration

First, let’s examine what repository files are currently installed on your AlmaLinux system:

ls /etc/yum.repos.d/
This command displays all repository configuration files. You should see various AlmaLinux repos and possibly an outdated JetBackup repository file that’s causing conflicts.
2 Remove Conflicting Repository Files

Remove any problematic old JetBackup repository configurations:

rm -rf /etc/yum.repos.d/repo.jetlicense.com_centos_9_.repo
This removes the old JetBackup repository configuration that was designed for CentOS and may cause conflicts on AlmaLinux. The file name might vary slightly on your system – look for any files containing “jetlicense” or “jetbackup” in the name.
3 Install JetApps Repository for AlmaLinux

Download and install the latest JetApps repository configuration specifically designed for AlmaLinux:

bash <(curl -LSs http://repo.jetlicense.com/static/install)
This installation script will:
  • Detect your AlmaLinux version automatically
  • Install the appropriate jetapps repository package
  • Clean any conflicting repository configurations
  • Install the jetapps CLI management tools
You should see confirmation messages for each step of the process.
4 Verify Repository Installation

Confirm that the new repository file is properly installed:

ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ | grep jetapps
You should see jetapps.repo in the output, confirming the repository is properly configured for AlmaLinux.
5 Install JetBackup 5 for cPanel

Execute the complete installation command for JetBackup 5 with cPanel integration:

bash <(curl -LSs http://repo.jetlicense.com/static/install) && jetapps --install jetbackup5-cpanel stable
Alternative Method: You can run these commands separately if preferred:
bash <(curl -LSs http://repo.jetlicense.com/static/install)
jetapps –install jetbackup5-cpanel stable
This installation process will:
  • Download the stable version of JetBackup 5
  • Install all required dependencies
  • Configure cPanel/WHM integration
  • Set up the JetBackup service
  • Create detailed installation logs
The installation typically takes 5-10 minutes depending on your server specifications.
6 Verify JetBackup 5 Installation

Confirm that JetBackup 5 was installed successfully on your AlmaLinux server:

jetapps –list | grep jetbackup
This command will display the installed JetBackup version and confirm it’s properly integrated with your cPanel/WHM installation. You should see “jetbackup5-cpanel” listed with its version number.
