Backups

[Nivko]

Hi all,

I've configured DirectAdmin that he backups to a ftp server once a day at night. But: every time he overwrites the existing backup, is there a method to create directorys or something? Such: dd-mm-yy?

Thanks,

Niels.

The way we do it is by renaming on the destination server.

Another way to do it would be to keep the backup locally, then just before you run the next day's backup, rename the first one and ftp it then.

Or one more way: each week-day upload backups to different directory

We did what Martynas described for a long time. Just set the cron to backup and change the day from 0-6. Have the folder for 0 be /sunday, the folder for 1 be /monday, and so on.

Hmm, then I going to use the cron on the destination to change the file names. Thanks all for the hints & tips!
