Solved How to include a date in backup filenames

[bibiugly]

Previously when I used the old backup with the .tar.gz file this still worked:

• https://docs.directadmin.com/direct...tml#how-to-include-a-date-in-backup-filenames

However, since switching to the new file .tar.zst, this method cannot be used anymore.
Hope you guys have a solution for this case.

I fixed the problem by replacing the code in the file "/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/custom/user_backup_post.sh" from:

#!/bin/sh

#set this as needed
RESELLER=admin

BACKUP_PATH=`echo $file | cut -d/ -f1,2,3,4`
REQUIRED_PATH=/home/$RESELLER/admin_backups

if [ "$BACKUP_PATH" = "$REQUIRED_PATH" ]; then
   if [ "`echo $file | cut -d. -f4,5`" = "tar.gz" ]; then
       NEW_FILE=`echo $file | cut -d. -f1,2,3`.`date +%F-%H-%M`.tar.gz
       if [ -s "$file" ] && [ ! -e "$NEW_FILE" ]; then
           mv $file $NEW_FILE
       fi
   fi
fi
exit 0;

Become as follows:

#!/bin/sh

#set this as needed
RESELLER=admin

BACKUP_PATH=`echo $file | cut -d/ -f1,2,3,4`
REQUIRED_PATH=/home/$RESELLER/admin_backups

if [ "$BACKUP_PATH" = "$REQUIRED_PATH" ]; then
   if [ "`echo $file | cut -d. -f4,5`" = "tar.zst" ]; then
       NEW_FILE=`echo $file | cut -d. -f1,2,3`.`date +%F-%H-%M`.tar.zst
       if [ -s "$file" ] && [ ! -e "$NEW_FILE" ]; then
           mv $file $NEW_FILE
       fi
   fi
fi
exit 0;

After that everything worked fine.
