    Hello,

    I was thinking about websites backups the following:

    a) Sometimes a website backup fails to write all of the website files and only performs a database backup for sites perhaps with a big number of files. How do you think one may see what is causing the issue? I do know that the issue exists because if at “excluded Directories” is placed /web/* as exclusion the backup is executed without an issue.

    b) It would be nice in the websites main panel (website hard disks quota) to have an icon let’s say a red or green circle that will directly show if the latest backup was successful or not. Shall I suggest in on the Git, what do you believe?

    Sure, that sounds useful, and gitlab is where to put feature requests. A similar indicator could/should be made for backups under mailbox quota and database quota .
