Hi,

in the panel there is an option for system back-up.
but i want to shedule it daily or weekly for:
/home
/etc
/var
/usr

how can i set this up?
First of all, how should i set these settings:
Full System Backup - Cron Schedule
Minute:
Hour:
Day of Month:
Month:
Day of Week:

And then:
If i check all these options, will it be enoug for the directories i noticed above:

Add user home directories to directory list below
Backup httpd data
Backup DNS data
Backup MySQL
Databases
Backup Directories and Files listed below
 
First of all, how should i set these settings:
Full System Backup - Cron Schedule
Minute:
Hour:
Day of Month:
Month:
Day of Week:

Select the time and the day of the week you want to backup your system. Lets say Sunday at 23:01 then

Minute = 01
Hour = 23
Day of Month = *
Month = *
Day of Week = 0
Day of week is counted from 0 to 6 and that corosponds to Sunday to Saturday

/home
/etc
/var
/usr

For the /home directory you need to check "Add user home directories to directory list below". Note that this will NOT backup things you put in /home or users you create outside of DA.
DA will not with any of the options you specified backup the complete /etc, /var or /usr directories. It will backup everything that DA needs, if you want more you'll need to add it.

Regards,
