Hey,
when a reseller (or a user) wants to keep a repository of old backups, he must set a directory structure to support that, and feel them with corresponding backups, like explained in here: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=146
I was wondering:
wouldn't it be easier to put a timestamp on the backup filename, just like on the admin-level backup, so several files could be stored in the same directory without having to create multiple cronjobs for this.
just think of a user that wants hourly backups (24 of them per day) and keep history for a week (7 days a week) = 168 (=24*7) different cronjobs!!!
with my suggestion, it'll be down to.... 1
