New Backup Interface needs a way to enable/disable remote ftp backups.

cPanelPeter shared this idea 11 years ago
Completed

Some users use a remote FTP server (Hetzner) to store their backups.

When this is first created using the WHM backup configuration, it does not apparently add the


upload_system_backup: 1


line to the configuration file in /var/cpanel/backups/XXXX.conf


Backups still run but don't get stored offsite.

The fix is to manually add the above line to the configuration file.


This should be added to the GUI so that users don't have to add the line manually.

This has been present in the system since at least version 54, so I'm going to mark this as completed. When you set up a new remote destination, or edit an existing one, you can check the box "" and you the system backups will be uploaded.
