Backups in Hestisa CP

[abif]

Dear Team,

Would like to ask if there is a possibility that we can retrieve the backups downwards from the date backed-up?
Please find the below screenshot.

Thank you.

Increase the number of backups in your package

thank you for your response, I would like to ask if we can able to retrieve the previous back-up dates(example month of july 28th) if we increase the number of backups in our package?

or is it for the next back-up only?

[eris]

You need to increase the number of backups.

In your case only after the last backup has been made all older backups are removed

[abif]

Noted. Thank you

It can help, if one could choose how many backup may be made for a specific user. This is a feature request though.

You can create a specific package for your user and set the number of allowed backups for that user.

Thanks for very basic advice. FYI, I am much senior for that advice.

The suggestion was to have a webinterface for others.

And to tell you, I do not use any aspect of web interface of HestiaCP. I am a CLI person. So this was a suggestion for others and not for me.

You are welcome Mr. Senior

You can create a new package via CLI if you want it will not a the easiest method but it will work …

[Deepak]

I am sorry to make a feature request in the interest of the community.

A discussion to help me is useless and is annoying me because I get emails while I am executing complex operations.

To others, everyone, please refrain to help me on this topic.

I do not need any help.

Well, I do not need any help. Thanks.

I do not want to create any packages on CLI.

I had only suggested that it can help other young people, who do not know CLI or do not use. They are using web interface and one can have a dropdown to choose number of backups.

A global $BackupsNr can be used and inserted in user.conf for generating that dropdown of web interface.

The global $BackupsNr can be read while doing the backups or rotations.

Thereafter the $BackupsNr is no longer dependent on packages.
