Deactivate Backup

wwmn · Post by **wwmn** » Fri Aug 15, 2014 11:11 am

I searched the whole forum but I can't find a answer to my problem.
Is there the a way to disable the daily backup function?
I tried to suspend a few cron jobs but it still it does the daily backups.

sudo /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-backup-users

Let's imagine that one actually don't want to deactivate the v-backup-users, but just want to delete the old backup files in /home/backup which is more than x days old?

How to come around that issue?

You just need to edit file
/usr/local/vesta/data/users/admin/user.conf (or any other user you want to fix)
Look for BACKUPS="?" line to adjust how many backups will be kept.

Hi Head,

Man.. how blind can I be! Just saw it now.. also able to just change how many backups will be kept in "packages" am I right?

Thanks a lot for your advice!
