I saw that in the last version there was included a builtin backup system (at least I see this in the version notes) ISPConfig 3.0.5. released New web backup system which includes the website databases I've seen a lot of methods to "manually" performing backup systems like http://www.htmelted.com/backup-script-to-amazon-s3-for-isp-config-3/ and http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43886 But I cannot find the builtin backup system within the ISPConfig menus Any ideas?
Hi You can enable the backup system in ISPConfig as follows:- Goto the ISPConfig login panel. There System-->ServerConfig-->Website-->BackupMode-->Backup all files in web directory as root user Thats it, you have done for backup part throught ISPConfig Br// Srijan
What srijan posted are the global preferences for backups. Backups are enabled on the backup tab of the website settings.
But it says "Daily" backups... at what hour will be done? Backups are not really configurable I mean, only backup dir (/var/backups by default) and frequency (daily, monthly, etc...?)
the backups are done by the daily ispconfig cronjob which starts at 0:30 in the mrning and does various tasks from generaing statistics up to backups.
Hi Till, I've tried to find the answer by reading as many posts as possible but without success. Why my backup folder inside my client's directory (/webXX/backup) is not a symlink and is always empty? My backup files are visible inside /var/backup/webXX though. Could you explain me what's happening here? Thanks!
Hi Florian, Oh I didn't know that! Sorry I should have tried it before posting my question, I was thinking the download button was only a regular download link... I just tried it and it works as you described! Thank you for your help Well, then the backup folder inside the client's directory is not a symlink anymore? I've read everywhere it was. I guess it's been changed in the last version of ISPConfig (running 3.0.5.4p3 on my end))? Thanks!
