Backup overwriting

[ricardo777]

Hello,

Have noticed a thing, if I create a backup 2 on the same day or more it overwrited the old one.

Can this be changed or at least an option?

Unfortunately, no. I will consider this topic as feature request.

Thank you kind, maybe a upload function for backups.

Had a server reinstall had a bit of a hard time to restore a backup there is a other file that list al of the user backups that is needed, otherwise the backup is not seen in the restore list.

You can restore uploaded backups using cli. It works even if user doesn't exist on a server. It is useful when you migrate user from one server to another.
1. Make backup using web interface or "v-backup-user" command
2. Copy file /backup/$user.$date.tar to new server
3. Restore user using following command "v-restore-user $user $user.$date.tar"

Hint: You can change archive name and restore bacup under new username.

Ricardo,

Where is that file that needs to be updated? I want to try your method for importing backups.

Thanks!

Suppose you could edit /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-backup-user and look for:
