Nice to see all these updates and the continued move towards Rspamd. Looking forward to the "Show Restore Tracking feature", very neat!

Hello,

We were waiting the feature that users can download system backups from their own panels. But it is missing

Why would users need to download system backups? Or you mean backups of user accounts created at admin/reseller level?

 

[kebirhost]

Hello,

We backup all accounts every week. Resellers and users can easily download them every week to backup them on their computers.

Thanks,
Melih

Do you really use System Backups in directadmin to backup users? See https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=269

If it is about Admin Backup/Transfer, then it's a good option to let users to download it. And still it might be a challenge to implement since DirectAdmin allows admins to change much options of it.

Hello,

Sorry. It is about Admin Backup/Transfer. I hope DA will add this feature ASAP.

Have you already request it at the feedback-feature-requests subforum?

 

[kebirhost]

Hello,

Yes 2 months ago.

DA staff, are there any news on the incremental backups feature in DA? Whats in your mind?

What other free and comfortable solutions are best to avoid high traffic when creating external backups?

Merci

A, Maybe can add brotli into CustomBuild
B, as test for centos 7 / nginx, user's Password Protected Directories seems not function (DA V1.59.5)

 

[apogee]

I also think that, as already here in the forum written, brotli must be added (and also used for DA webinterface)

Question: is it normal that the 1.6 RC version poses as 1.595?

On my dev maschine, this not working: https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=2589

 

[pmjcreations]

A, Maybe can add brotli into CustomBuild

What do you ask here? Brotli to DA itself or Brotli support to all the domains hosted?

 

[xerox]

I hope DA will or has already started to develop this and will release this somewhere in near future. I think if we could use every piece which makes backups better and which are possible to implement should give admins and users more secure experience in all terms.

 

[shivahost]

Please add support for more than 4 php versions in custombuild.

Please fix the DA starting issue and please add some kind of cron function to watch that DA is indeed running:
