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.

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

Changelog

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:

05 02 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/backup.php &> /dev/null

Now everything make sense. Thanks.

hello,

i have this line

05 02 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/backup.php &> /dev/null

in the crontab, but no backup-folders.
what can be wrong?

What happens if you run this command:

/root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/backup.php

on the shell (as root)?

[dumb-medic]

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

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

[dumb-medic]

hitting enter brings the prompt, same second.
