Complete Backup system

Planned
Subscribe

bdacus01

Backup/Restore system. It needs to be more complete and have more location options. You need to be able to choose “who, what, when, where, and how”.
Who: All good here.
What: is good.
When: I think cron covers this.
Where: local, ftp, sftp, AWS, BackBlaze and others. You also need to be able to restore from all locations.
How: Full, incremental, both, and except list. It should include logic based on type chosen example Incremental > full back up= weekly, monthy ect.
Restore: should accommodate from all “Where” and all “How”

Some Dude

This is not a want this is a need.

Krystian Ż

any ETA on this?

Stefan Olaru

a must have.

it took me hours to findout on github a workaround to use SFTP via SSH... that's not normal.

Carlos Rodríguez

It is completely necessary.

Matrix Server,LLC

why wouldn't the backup be implemented, only newer ones to make a backup like on cpanel?

Luis Lara

I need this

Rest Tores

I hope that will be ready soon i am totally desperate for this .

Edwin Bos

I would really like this as well.

Especially the where, there are zero (that I am aware of) big cloud storage providers who still support FTP.

Mbekezeli Mhlanga

We need this like yesterday yet its been 4 years and S3 support is still not there.

Aryan Raj

S3 compatible remote backup is very important. This will bring more users from cPanel to Directadmin for sure. Please make it happen.

Bar Gamliel

waiting for this feature...
at least cover some more protocols, ftp(s) isn't good enough.

Matthew Hawkins

Why is DirectAdmin so behind the times with backups. Other Control Panels either Paid or Opensource have more backup options then DirectAdmin
Would be great to see in 2024 better backup options for example able to backup to S3 Providers like Amazon S3, Wasabi, Compatible S3 like Minio

Kebirhost Internet Hizmetleri LTD.

Waiting for 3 years....

Studio A7 (Studio A7)

Please be patient, three more years coming... Maybe we should do some anniversary each year ? ;)

Marten de Vries

Passwordless SSH Keys support for backup solutions

Matrix Server,LLC

please upgrade user level sheldule backup/restore

Yücel KAHRAMAN

I think it is a very important and urgent feature.

James Fouracre

Any updates?

Wanabo

Don't forget ftps!

Constantin Fandache

Am nevoe de bani,sint sarac si cu venituri fff mici.

Ryan Kh

3 years ago and still showig as planned and its like a plan ... dumb management.

net

Looking forward to this.

InfusedHosting

Would love the Where to include GDrive as we heavily use GoogleDrive backup on our cPanel servers. Current workaround is to backup DA via SFTP to a windows server and use the GoogleDrive desktop app to backup the entire folder.. not the best method

Jeffrey

Any update on this now it is 'planned'?

MAXIBI ICT

It is planned since 2 years ago. Expect another 2 years.

Jeffrey

I have seen people offeirng plugins, it can't be hard to work together and make something happen. Especially with license and price increase (again) next year

thekvs

Just came from CP to DA and was looking for this option and found only a basic one, backup is a serious thing. Would like to do this without a workaround, its really a must (AWS, GDrive, etc...)

Muhammad Arsal

Aoa

yet wwj

Woe

Rest Tores

I cant believe that there is not this option, i was breaking my head to find it and seti t up.

Martin

Is anything happening on this yet? Automated user backup with retention is sorely needed.

JW.te.K

As reseller....
Add Day of Week to backup location.. No restore possible.
If there is an option to add something to the path when backing up , one must be able to select this when restoring.

Paul Silva

I really want to see a complete backup system. As current ones available to add in just seem to have issues. I had to recently make a manual backup to get it all over correctly.

Fabio Zignale

For me: this will make the real difference

Ryan Kh

2 years ... and this is still planned. This got planned 8 months ago :( not even any progress on this. Extremely poor performance.

Eugene Viljoen

@smtalk Is there any update on this?

7 months seems like a stretch no?

arafatx

This feature only available for Pro Pack ?

Martin

what else do you expect ? They put everythink in Pro Pack now ...

Daniel N

Yes... "we don't want to force anyone"... :))

Alessio Pellegrini

I hope soon to see support for Backblaze B2, also I hope you handle it better than cPanel, which allows backing up to Backblaze, but then in case of needing to retrieve it the procedure is all command line.

Do you know if there is an unofficial way to get backups to backblaze anyway?

iStartCloud

Wonder what the status is on this one.

Studio A7

This is definitely crucial.

James Fouracre

I'd like incremental and the option for clients to restore files / databases from within the panel.

a hidden weekly backup of full archives would be nice, in case anything happened.

I actually find the current backup very good and excellent to restore after server failure.

Matthijs

Some feedback for DA:
forum.directadmin.com/threads/backup-restore-a-horrible-experience.63283

Sebastian Alvarez

Please, is a basic function for managing websites.

Mujam Ali

Backup like cPanel will be really helpful

Mark Magno

Looking forward to having this feature soon! Thanks, DA!

Harry Tang

Who: even better if you can support filter by max storage (e.g all accounts

Richard G

Good that it's planned. Please also repare the bug that admin packages are not restored using admin backup/restore.

smtalk

Status changed to: Planned

Dennis Nind

Given the release of JB5 now, I honestly think there are other areas your time could be invested in - the backup system in place currently in DirectAdmin is still fully functional.

Anyone who requires off-site backups currently on cPanel servers, still end up using JetBackup, or any other alternative solution as opposed to the one packaged within the software itself.

I think instead of trying to build something in DirectAdmin which does the same as JetBackup, it would be best leaving them to their own area of expertise, and instead invest in a partnership between you both, so you are able to benefit from the licences sold.

There are certain areas within a system, that there are justifications for paying licence fee's for 3rd party products/integrations, and I do feel backups is just one of those areas that its perfectly acceptable.

Dennis

Marco M

I halfway completely agree:

1. directadmin develops the management panel, it is not a software house specialized in 100% of technologies
2. directadmin has a basic backup and restore function that works very well, BUT it cannot be used on a large scale for those who do mass hosting
3. there are companies specialized in making backup software, they do just that .... is there a reason?

Therefore?
I don't think Directadmin should invest in the backup system at the moment.

Ryan Kh

This is one of the core features that DirectAdmin neglects badly. Don't know what's wrong with these guys think of Backups/Restore section without any popular remote destinations like aws s3 / google drive / onedrive etc. This should be added on priority for next release of update. I hope DirectAdmin dev team will consider this request.

Al Chake

This is a priority for almost all web hosting companies.

I would recommend that DA team really would consider adding this feature.

100+

Mant Usma

would like option to have incremental backups and possibility to restore single file or email, not having to setup new server for single email recovery

sufiyan shaikh

Yes we need

antonio rodrigues

Yes we need a backup scripts like cPanel.

Marek Bajerski

+1 for borgbackup

Dennis

Don't forget to add password protected database encryption

Anay J

For SSH bashed, also add feature to remove backup older than n number of days. May be you can check out Virtualmin GPL backup for reference

Anay J

+Borg

bdacus01

Does Borg let you back up to AWS or cloud options? Like Restic does?

Andreas Bezuh

Maybe the implementation of Borg Backup or a plugin would make sense.

Kevin

Yes we need a backup scripts like cPanel.
