Hello,

I want to do backups at off-peak times but the backups last for at least 14-16 hours so it really isn't working at the off-peak time.

So I was wondering, if it's possible to set some accounts to be backed up on one day and others on some other days?

I would like to split the backup at least among 3-4 days so that they last for 2-3 hours each day at an off-peak time.

Is there any such thing, possible?

Open to suggestions!

Thanks..
 
Set a cron to do 1/3rd of your backups one night, the next night another third and the remaining ones the next night... it's a constant rotation.
 
Yeah had that in mind but how to do it, that's the question ...

I mean I dont know how directadmin does it backups so any insights will help.
 
I guess it's using sysbk since it's the one from the control panel .. The "system backup" in the main admin CP.

Well I wrote a php script to tar accounts and created cron jobs on different days to do the backup for different dirs. Havn't tested it. But it's custom so not the best.

A solution from the developers or advanced users of a product is always better.
