command line remote backup

[sergeant]

I want this:

echo "action=backup&local%5Fpath=%2Fhome%2Fadmin%2Fadmin%5Fbackups&owner=admin&select%30=testuser&type=admin&value=multiple&when=now&where=local" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

to go to:
ip: 123.45.67.89
user: backup
pass: pass
port:21

I probably need understanding of the "where" parameter

AND

I assume "value=multiple" means all data from this user, is that true?
What is the correct value for only backing up the database?

for people that want to know this:

create a regular backup

quickly open /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue on your server and see the created command, the make a cron like shown above

on second thought, where do I put the cron command?

It doesn't seem to be working in the regular DA cron page.

Nor in the file /etc/cron.d/directadmin_cron

anybody any thoughts on this one?

backslashing the % did the trick
