Hi;
I've read through the plesk backup reference manual and I understand how to make a complete backup and have successfully done that.
What I'd like to know if anyone has successfully added this as a cron task and if so how.
The sites I host are on /sda2
My backup drive is /sdb and it's mounted as /storage
Now I log into the box as root and run the command /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup --all /storage/2007-04-02-all (example)
What I'd like to be able to do is keep 7 days of backups on my storage drive. Adding this to cron rewrites the same file. I'm not finding how to enable a date feature in cron so that the file would right to /storage/$timestamp-all.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Also has anyone restored from one of these backups and do we know they work? I've seen some other posts here about problems restoring from the oldstyle backup and just want to make sure.
Thanks
