Backup client's backups

[MtK]

Hey,
many users manually user DA's backup functionality which locates the backup files in /home/CLIENT/backups.
those backups are not part of the backup process made by the admin from Admin Backup/Transfer - why?

Why would you want them to be?

Why would you want them to be?

first of all, because the client made them and left them there (I'm not getting into his/her reasons).
second, because it's part of the client's data (history if it matters) so it should be part of the data transferred (in my case to a new server).

I am sure the client would want their own personal backups to be transferred to the new server and not left behind on the old server.

I am actually glad this was brought out. I have been transferring hundreds of clients over the last few weeks. Now I have to go back and transfer all of their own backup files.
