The is a nice feature to able to do automated backups to websites. Automated Backup seams to work fine, manual backup too with some flaws. when starting a manual backup there is just a message thats it is running, but no information about an finish. The database backup is still quick, but may eventake a while for large databases i.e. in content management systems. The file backup takes a long time, may even take a very long time if the are are i.e. a lot of images, no message when finished. If you have ssh access you can look in the /var/backup/site folder, as a workaroud Restore seams to work fine too, but with a flaw. Here too no information when finished Download, there is a message the download will be prepared. But no information when finished. I found it will be copied to the web site, why npt direct download fom the backup directory. And even if ist copied no posibility to download is out of ISPConfig with the browsers download function. You have to access the the file via scp ftp or ssh. Delete backup Same problem too, information if finished. seams for me it does not work at all all as the backups I try to delete are still listed. My be I am wrong or do not understand it at all. So please can somebody give me a hint thanks
ISPConfig is a multiserver control panel, so the panel typically has no direct access to the website backup directory. The panel might even be located in a different data center or on another continent. Providing a message e.g. by email when a restore is finished is something we should implement indeed.
Thank you gor the quick response OK I understand the problem. The backups are first done to /var/backup/site_user/ whith only root access. pressing the "Dowload" Button, what more means prepare to download copies it to /var/www/webseite/backup whre the directory itself is root owned, but the copied file are owned by site_user and can be copied from there with shell access. yes an email notification, if backuped, restoreed, or prepaired would be fine.
