Different Backup Locations per User

Community Support Backups

I was wondering if HestiaCP has a built-in feature that allows setting different backup locations for individual users. For example, I’d like to configure each user’s backups to go to a separate remote destination (like different FTP, S3 accounts or rclone).

As far as I can see, it’s not possible to set different backup locations for individual users directly through the HestiaCP interface. However, I’d like to discuss possible ways to achieve this. Maybe through configuration changes or custom scripts.

Has anyone tried something similar or found a good workaround?

I can’t see any way to achieve that. The remote backup details are set at the server level

You can sync the local backup to the remote server!

No at the moment not ..

It’s a shame I can’t distribute backups between local and remote…
I tried sending old backups to a shared folder and leaving a symbolic link in /backup, but Hestia is laughing at me.

I’ve thought of a useful format when the problem is physical space (as in my case):

  • Delete /backup - Create /backup as a remote directory with sshfs
  • and perform backups as if they were all local

I have no idea if Hestia has any system to detect this. I’m tired of trying things with backups.
if I ever find the time, I’ll restart my battle.
