How do I enable automatic backup?
 

Hi everyone.

That's it. How do I enable and configure automatic backup? I've been searching around and can't find anything.

Have a look at these tutorials: http://www.howtoforge.com/howto_linux_systemimager

Thanks, I know about backup tools. But I was talking about the backup that appears in the changelog (2.1.2).

Changelog
---------

- Added module for client and reseller invoices.
- Added slowenian error pages.
- Added automatic backup script for all customers.
- Improved update manager.
- Updated swedish, french and italian language files.
- Bugfix: Missing module error in WebFTP is fixed.

The backup runs automatically and stores a tar.gz backup file in the "backup" directory of each website.

If you dont have a backup directory in the website directories, please check if this line is in your root crontab:

Now everything make sense. Thanks. :rolleyes:

What happens if you run this command:
on the shell (as root)?

simply nothing, bash prompt.
in /var/log/messages no entry :confused:
and again no backup-folders.

The bash prompt returns without errors? How long does it take until the prompt returns?

hitting enter brings the prompt, same second.
