Good day,
Is it possible to download backup files via API

If you mean download the backup from remote server (google, sftp, ftp, rclone or b2) to your Hestia server then yes, you can use v-download-backup USER BACKUP

Example:
v-download-backup admin admin.2023-11-09_01-19-21.tar

If you mean direct from the server to local computer no…

Via API no…

We download backup files from the local server via:

github.com

hestiacp/hestiacp/blob/4a42c06f8565b48dc494a8e664966108c4bce0af/web/download/backup/index.php#L39-L42


      
          			header("Content-type: application/gzip");
          			header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . $backup . "\";");
          			header("X-Accel-Redirect: /backup/" . $backup);
          		}

And /backup end point is only available internally…

He wants to use the API not not via sftp client…

okay, its another better way

eris · November 11, 2023, 4:53pm

He want to allow users that connect via the api (His own web UI ) download the backups…
