So, following the guidelines I moved all my small sites network to another user other than admin.
Due the almost 1 month offline time (and probably total data loss) of my previous vps, I decided to go with the offline backup option to an external ftp server. I tested the manual backup for the user “admin” , and everything works, backup gets generated on my vps and on the ftp server.
But what about the other user, that “holds” all my website? Do I have to manually set a chron for the specific user? in case, how? (only found v-backup-users , that should backup every user)
would that take care of the ftp backup as well, or it will backup only on the current hestia server? Can I set hestia to ONLY store the backup on the ftp external server to save some space? Found some info for vesta, would this work on hestia as well? https://medium.com/@shreyanshgoel9/configure-ftp-backup-vestacp-ubuntu-8f1f2fe6b145
When you run v-backup-users a backup will be made for all users active on the server where the number of backups is set to a number higher then 0 on the package
If you want only a specific user use the command
v-backup-user username
The backup system takes only care about the files stored on the current server and yes local can be turned of
(That is the only reason why I am able to create 10 backups of all my users with out running in storage)
thank You! so, to turn off local backup , ido I have to follow Vesta guidelines? The number of backup I assign to the user are the number of backup stored before getting cancelled, I assume? So, if I set to only 1, despite the backup will be made on an ftp external server, every time a new backup is made the previous one will be cancelled?
Yes the oldest one (in this case the previous) will be deleted…
