You still have made an error in you cPanel configuration with the backup options.
Ok first step first. On your cPanel server make sure you have set up a directory for the backups. In my case I made the directory backup at the root so it's easy accessible and to remember. The backups will be stored in that directory on your local cpanel server after creation.
Don't select the option mount backup drive as needed. This is only needed in special cases (if you use a separate drive and want extra security). This is the step that you did wrong according the error.
Then you also have the option to retain backups in the default directory. Use this only if you know what it means. Read the discription. This option can be handy if your local server has less disk space then your backup server.
Now try to run the backup script again as you did before (with the --force option) to see if it's working.
And now, the last and most important question, how much is it worth to you if your server crashes tomorrow and you have lost all your data again? I think it's best you let someone with experience to take a look into your configuration and make sure for you it's being backupped properly. You have my details and I'm available
