Hello,

Is there any way to create admin backups with encryption / password? Also I'd like to configure backup rotations so there is a daily backup of one week and the script should automatically delete backups older than a week / 8 days.


Is it possible?


Thank you.
 
You would have to make a script to delete backups older then x days.
 
Anyone here who can do that? I'm willing to pay for this job.

Also what about password protection?


Thank you.
 
Me, Zeiter, jlasman and scsi probably can do this job for you.

Feel free to pm (or email) which one you prefer for a quote.

Regards
 
@ Sellerone I've been sending you messages on IM, but you never reply.
 
We run a script on the backup server. We backup to the current directory. Every day we do this (a few minutes before backup is scheudled to start on hosting server):
Code: 
rm -f backup7
mv backup6 backup7
mv backup5 backup6
mv backup4 backup5
mv backup3 backup4
mv backup2 backup3
mv backup1 backup2
mv current backup1
As long as all these directories are on the same partition, the move is close to instantaneous. We do a few other things, for example, compare backup sizes from day to day and send us results in an email so we can get a heads-up if sizes are very different; that can indicate a problem with the backup.
