is it possible to make auto backup to not overwrite, but to create a new backup instead??


thanks
 
i dont get the question what does "over wright" mean.
 
i mean that it will back up e.g user1 and when it does another back it, it will make user1 overwriting the last one, not making a user1-1 or anything...
 
I've corrected the misspellings. This has been discussed previously in these forums.

No. You have to have a script that moves the backups after they are created. So that next time the backup is run the can be created without overwriting anything.
 
it's better u used Admin Backup/Transfer ,

i think you need weekly or monthly backup for each user , then you can create more than 1 cron , it's better create 1 cron for each days ,
 
lol you dont need 1 cron for each day. You can have a single cron that runs daily.
 
i would need 7 crons to make 7 backups, or 30 crons to make it a months back up.. please.. there must be away to put a time/date stamp on the backup it self there for it will not overright the back up? regards

Lol you need 1 cron and 1 only that runs when you want. You should hire someone to write one to do what you want.
 
@scsi,

What you refer to is probably to use one cronjob to run a complex script that will do what you want. Not quite the same thing.
