Vesta Control Panel - Forum

Is it possible to have all domains backup to an ftp server everyday automatically?

Yes. this feature is implemented in the panel

Great thanks but is it possible to change the backup directory to another ftp server?

You can create a new config file with name ftp.backup.conf
/usr/local/vesta/conf
file content for example:
BPATH='/backup'

then you should change the vesta config file
/usr/local/vesta/conf/vesta.conf or this if you want to create backups on local and ftp
BACKUP_SYSTEM='local,ftp'

Great thanks, how would I add a cron job for these backups to run each day?

Thanks for your help :D

by default, backups are created 05:10 on server time
you can edit the cronjob command

Thanks, the problem I think I have is I have added a user then added the domain under that user, So on the main admin account it is only backing up the main admin account and not other domains under usernames.

This command makes backups of all users

I am using IP as ftp path so this worked for me by removing PORT='21'

Code: Select all

HOST='ftphost_ip'
PORT='21'
USERNAME='backup-user'
PASSWORD='p4ssw0rd'
BPATH='/'

for example:
BPATH='/backup'

then you should change the vesta config file
/usr/local/vesta/conf/vesta.conf

Code: Select all

change BACKUP_SYSTEM='local'
for this BACKUP_SYSTEM='ftp'

or this if you want to create backups on local and ftp
BACKUP_SYSTEM='local,ftp'

I did this, but the backup doesn't seem to work.
I also tried : v-add-backup-ftp-host ftp.adrive.com contact---domain.com pasword
The --- recplaces the @.
Or do I really need a IP instead of a domain?
