[Feature request] backup directory

[Dmitry Sidorov]

Hello.

If DirectAdmin can't find directory for backup, process fails with error. I think, it would be great to create directory if it's not exist and set correct permissions on it by the backup script. How do you think?

Hello,

What level backups you're saying about? Directadmin creates backups directories when doing user backups on both reseller and admin levels.

If you meaning system backups, then I would not want it. That is why, system backups are mostly being done during a late night, and let's imagine that a / (root) mount point is selected there and a directory /backups does not exists. System backup will fail. But what if directadmin creates the directory and put backups there (in most cases if there are more than 1-2 partitions on the server, the root partition is not that big)... and how will a server feel like with 100% filled root partition? Good if you've got someone who watches your server, or subscribed on SMS alerts... otherwise your server might get down....
