Hello, I am trying to setup backup for my sites. And I want to backup to a mount. What is the best method for this? My backup system supports SFTP, FTPS, RSYNC, SCP. And how do I connect it with ISPconfig?
According to ISPConfig Manual version 3.1 page 137, website backups by default go to directory /var/backup. The directory can be altered, manual tells how. So mount your backup disk on /var/backup.
I got the manual. But it does not say how to mount to that folder. Do I have to install for example sshfs, or is there a service that come with ISPconfig? If so which one?
Try Internet Search Engines with Code: linux mount sshfs If you want to restrict the search to this forum, use Code: linux mount sshfs site:howtoforge.com Also read the man page for command mount: Code: man mount There is lots of instructions all around the Internet on how to mount stuff in various methods.
If you always want /var/backup mounted, you could just add an entry to /etc/fstab. If it suits your needs better, you can create a /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/backup_dir_mount.sh script which will be called prior to creating backups, and create a /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/backup_dir_umount.sh which will be called afterwards (search the forums here for examples if needed). You only need to install sshfs if you use sshfs (eg. I believe I have posted an example backup script which uses sshfs+encfs in the past, if that's what you're wanting), but the custom scripts you write can use whatever tools are needed to get /var/backup setup to create and access backup files.
Thanks alot for your reply. I am struggling finding a script. I only found this one, but it uses sshfs: https://schaal-it.com/ispconfig-backup-space/ Could you post one you know about so I have an idea how it should look?
A quick Google search turned up https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/upgrade-to-ispconfig-3-1-no-backup.74145/ .. I may have made some changes since then and don't know if i posted them anywhere, but that's a good start.
