I was looking at this option and noticed that there is no place to specify and backup to a location such as another hard drive.
Currently the BETA shows the following options.
Local: ~admin/admin_backups/ - Which is ok for some and if you dont have a second hard drive but it is very dangerous to be using this option if your primary dirve takes a poop. I suppose if you only have one drive this is your only option or you can use hte FTP option which is very slow.
Remote DirectAdmin Transfer - Which is ok if you want to spend hours sending your backups elsewhere plus it opens the door for corrupt backup files during a transfer.
Please add this option;
Local: /secondrive/admin_backups/ - Since this is in beta please consider adding an otpion to create backups to an alternate hard drive. I think most people here get two drives in their boxes these days. This would give those of us who have two drives to actually make use of it and gives us better data protection.
Incremental - I would really like to see this option implamented somewhere down the road. Incremental backups using any of the options above. Incrementals are far more efficient for those who want to backup to another dirve then rsync their data to a remote offline storage device as with resync you can specify to only backup files that have changed instead of having to send every .tar.gz files over and over everytime you need to do a backup. And rsync does error checking as well and data encryption and compression which is far more efficient that FTP.
Thank you.
