Greetings,
I am wondering how the restic/rclone system works on Hestia CP for remote backup. I have used restic before on other servers and always had to configure it manually with a bash script and cron. I was excited to see its built in to Hestia CP now.
So far I have used rclone config and setup a remote s3 host. I have gone in and enabled remote backups (local is set to no), and set the remote folder to a subfolder as I plan to use on multiple servers. Seems easy enough.
When I manually trigger v-backup-users, it creates a local backup under /backup of all users (leaves tmp.xxxx folders in there as well) and nothing seems to go online.
I thought I would start with remote backup before trying to figure out how incremental backups integrate. Im digging through the scripts, but Im getting stuck.
What makes it backup online? If local is disabled, why are there still files there (and tmp directories)? How does restic interact with this or how do you change your config to utilize restic snapshots?
Thanks,
