Hi!

This is a good one "Add CLI for backuping" , but I think needs to be complemented with the restore function.

Thanks
Regards
 
@dmtinc, yes restore function is still available either via web interface or manually via custom dataskq job. With this feature we are targeting use cases when data needs to be migrated out of old DA installation that no longer has a valid license and web interface is non functional. Something described in this help article.

On functional DA installations restore via web interface is preferred method. Do you have a use case for restoring using only CLI?
 
The new installer has bug. both nginx and httpd reported error (using nginx_apache):

and this happened before in 2020 post: https://forum.directadmin.com/threads/install-da-with-single-bash-script.61746/post-318651

Code:
This is the content of my ips.conf that the httpd complains it is missing is this:

# Auto generated apache config file by DirectAdmin version 1.63.1
# Modifying this file is not recommended as any changes you make will be
# overwritten when you add/remove ip's through DirectAdmin.


LogFormat "%O \"%r\"" homedir

The installer completed with no error, just that nginx and apache won't start. How can I debug this?
 
We have released a hot-fix for the beta and current release channels. Latest build with the fix is a7632e8d7e8d18200955896464b242c5df79f109.

The problem was caused by license handling changes in the dataskq binary. @kalibzen could you please try running the installation again?
