    Hello, I'd like to backup my websites and to save disk space so I decided to choose a better compress method then the default one.
    I set the backup type zip (bzip2) but the website backup file is a tar.gz.

    Ideas?
    I've the last version of Ispconfig on Debian Bookworm.

    Thank you all

    Have you checked with command file what compression method is used? Like this:
    Code:
    file manual-web2_2026-05-12_18-47.tar.gz

    Personally, I won't use zip as a backup format as you lose all ownership and permissions on files in case of a restore, zip archives are not able to store that information. Better use a.g. tar with bzip2 compression.

    OK. I replaced zip (bzip2) with tar (bzip2) and it's fine. Thank you all.
