Hi and Thanks for your free software.
I have a little question.
Is it possible to add a backup MongoDB database to a regular VestaCP backup?
Ubuntu 18.04.
Thank you in advance.

You could write a script for a cronjob to back it up to a local directory (say, /home/admin/dbbackups) and then that would be included in the vestacp backup.
eg
mongodump --host 1.2.3.4 -d mydb --username mayusername --password mypassword --out /home/admin/dbbackups/backup_$(date +%Y%m%d)
You'd probably want to then compress backups, and then to remove files over a certain age.
