Hello,
I’ve using HestiaCP and it’s been great, thankyou for all you hard work! I have some questions about the backup functionality, checking the documentation it mainly talks about CLI commands you can run, however doesn’t greatly explain the control panel options.
In the server config section, there is the option to enable backups and then an option to enable incremental backups. I have the “backups” enabled and have edited the package for users so they get 7 backups - but this takes lots of space of course as they are full backups. I assumed enabling incremental would allow me to do the same configuration, but it would just take deltas of the first full backup but when enabling it, you are presented with “repository” “snapshots” and “keep last…” which is a bit confusing as I thought the packages defined how many snapshots a user can have and the user control panel allowed them to take snapshots.
- How do these two backups systems differ - is the incremental totally separate from the normal “backups” option and not available to users to take one on-demand?
- What happens to the existing full backups if I enable the incremental ones now that there are 7 in every site?
- Why is there different repository option and no “remote backup” option available? My goal is to have a local and an offsite backup of every site/config for each user.
Thankyou!
