    Hi
    I try backup on samba, but I don't see any backup. How can I force to run backup manual?
    Thanks

    If I ever need to manually run a backup I just run
    php /usr/local/ispconfig/server/cron_daily.php
    I know it's a bit of a cheat way around it but it works.

    I dont recommend to run it manually as this breaks the statistics as this file may not be called more then once a day and might not be called after about 1 AM in the morning of a day, running it twice will double the traffic amount and can cause websites with traffic quota to stop.

    mount your samba share as /var/backup directory on the server.

    What would be a recommended way to generate manually a backup in the moment.

    I've seen some suggestions like what spacepills or JC P have mentioned:
    Code:
    php /usr/local/ispconfig/server/cron_debug.php --cronjob=500-backup.inc.php
    Sorry for reviving an old thread but seems there is no definitive answer on this matter.

    using the debug command should be ok.
