ISPConfig 3 - back-res a Backup and Restore script

[dclardy]

Is this script a part of the backup section of ISPConfig?

[till]

No. This is a additional backup script.

[dclardy]

Does the ISPConfig included backup script include databases?

[till]

The svn version which will be 3.0.5 yes, the current 3.0.4.4 stable no.

[dclardy]

Thanks, till. I am just going to automysqlbackup for the time being.

Three days and I have not had an automated backup yet. I think that means something's not working right.

In cron...

40 3 * * * /etc/back-res 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null

Everything looks like it checks out, but nothing is saving to the target directory: /srv/bck.

Any ideas?

[till]

Do you get any errors when you run:

/etc/back-res

manually as root user on the shell?

[lobius]

Typo…

cron was looking for back-res when the file name was back_res.

I feel terrible about that one. :-(

I think it will work just fine now.

You must delete my original draft of the previous post. I forgot to remove some critical information.

so i have the back-res working well, however no notification mail is sent when the backup is done. looks like this part is never reached:

"# Send accumulated maildata an cleanup
mail -s "Daily backup of $COMPUTER `date +'%F'`" "$email" < $tmpdir/maildata
rm -rf $tmpdir/datestart
rm -rf $tmpdir/dateend
rm -rf $tmpdir/excluded
rm -rf $tmpdir/maildata
"

what could be the reason for this?
